Comment Feed for Channel 9 - Pat Brenner: Visual Studio 2010 - MFC and Windows 7 http://ecn.channel9.msdn.com/o9/previewImages/100/497084_100x75.jpg Channel 9 - Pat Brenner: Visual Studio 2010 - MFC and Windows 7 Microsoft Foundation Classes for C++ (MFC) continue to evolve and will ship with Visual Studio 2010. In fact, you can start playing with the updated and improved MFC right now by downloading the VS 2010 Beta 2. MFC wraps native Windows APIs in convenient C++ wrapper classes that are defined for many Windows objects and common window controls. Not surprisingly, MFC wraps some of the new capabilities in Windows 7 (and will continue to do so in the future). Some of the key MFC updates in VS 2010 Beta 2 are:Improved interaction with Windows Explorer (Watch this Screencast for Demo): Windows7 taskbar interaction with preview Preview, thumbnail and search filter handlers for file types Ribbon UI improvements: Ribbon is now an XML resource in the application A new designer for the ribbon Visual manager for Windows7 ribbon style Restart manager support (Watch this Screencast for demo): Application restart or crash handled more elegantly Document auto-save and restore handled completely within MFC (if wanted) Software Developer and 20 year Microsoft veteran Pat Brenner sits down with us to discuss the new and improved MFC and how it takes advantage of new Windows 7 features in the typically convenient MFC way. Enjoy! en Mon, 20 May 2013 00:05:03 GMT Mon, 20 May 2013 00:05:03 GMT Rev9 Re: Pat Brenner: Visual Studio 2010 - MFC and Windows 7 Yeah there are a lot of native developers out there. We are the silent majority actually.

For example, about the taskbar interaction, all I have found is CWinApp::EnableTaskbarInteraction(BOOL bEnable), which actually only sets a BOOL flag... which is not used anuwhere else in the MFC code. Or I am missing something ?

 

Also, I can't open the class wizard now Crying

 

Anyway the Ribbon designer is really great ! .NET programmers will really be jalous. Big Smile

Perhaps you could do a part two that is demo ridden?  It's nice to see some examples of the updates in action.

The docking system, the toolbars, the ribbons, everything works very well and requires very little code to create a very nice looking, native application. Everything is wrapped in a clean way where you dont have to worry about the low-level Win32 stuff that is going on underneath.

 

I am thrilled to see that they go a step further with VS2010 and I hope MS keeps updating MFC for many years to come. Keep up the good work Pat.

You crack me up. Yea, the MFC / Native code world is good.

I would like to point out that with some good design skills, it's easy to create a generic layer that encapsulates the MFC nitty gritty. I have done that, and now I have an elegant C++ implementation of MVC, driven by an XML language more powerful than XAML.

Anyways, I got the idea from some Silverlight marketing announcement that one can use Silverlight from an MFC application. I can't find anything about it. Did I imagine that, or is this possible?
