• These C++ object-oriented classes include the functionality for use in default framework application.
• With the use of MFC, the programmer can create object and call functions of the windows library instead of calling windows API.

Data Structures that are supported:

• All the data structures are supported by the framework of MFC library but Array, Linked List, and Map are the most popular ones.
• The data structures can contain a variety of objects and predefined types.
• These collections are dynamically sized.

Recommended data types:

• The data types that can be used in array are primitive like byte, integer, double, string, and pointer.
• The data types that are used in linked list are heterogeneous set of primitive data types or objects of class types.
• The data types that are compatible to be used in map data structure are Word, String, and Pointers.

Classes and methods:

• CArray:
  • This is the class that supports in creation of a dynamic array...
