3. Using CString

The topics in this section describe how to program with CString. For reference documentation about the CString class, see the documentation for CStringT.

To use CString, include the atlstr.h header.

The CString, CStringA, and CStringW classes are specializations of a class template called CStringT based on the type of character data they support.

8. Diagnostic Services

The Microsoft Foundation Class Library supplies many diagnostic services that make debugging your programs easier. These diagnostic services include macros and global functions that allow you to track your program's memory allocations, dump the contents of objects during run time, and print debugging messages during run time. The macros and global functions for diagnostic services are grouped into the following categories:

1. General diagnostic macros
2. General diagnostic functions and variables
3. Object diagnostic functions
These macros and functions are available for all classes derived from CObject in the Debug and Release versions of MFC. However, all except DEBUG_NEW and VERIFY do nothing in the Release version. .
9. MFC Macros and Globals

The Microsoft Foundation Class Library can be divided into two major sections: (1) the MFC classes and (2) macros and globals. If a function or variable is not a member of a class, it is a global function or variable.

The MFC library and the Active Template Library (ATL) share string conversion macros. For more information, see String Conversion Macros in the ATL documentation.

The MFC macros and globals offer functionality in the following categories..

10. Class Library Overview

This overview categorizes and describes the classes in the Microsoft Foundation Class Library (MFC) version 9.0. The classes in MFC, taken together, constitute an application framework — the framework of an application written for the Windows API. Your programming task is to fill in the code that is specific to your application..

11. Hierarchy Chart

The following illustration represents the MFC classes derived from CObject:.

12. MFC Desktop Applications

The Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) Library provides an object-oriented wrapper over much of the Win32 and COM APIs. Although it can be used to create very simple desktop applications, it is most useful when you need to develop more complex user interfaces with multiple controls. You can use MFC to create applications with Office-style user interfaces. For documentation on the Windows platform itself, see Windows documentation. For information on building Windows applications in C++ without MFC, see Build desktop Windows apps using the Win32 API.

The MFC Reference covers the classes, global functions, global variables, and macros that make up the Microsoft Foundation Class Library..

13. Customization for MFC

You can save and load the state of your application to the registry. When you enable this option, your application will load its initial state from the registry. If you change the initial docking layout for your application, you will have to clear the registry data for your application. Otherwise, the data in the registry will override any changes that you made to the initial layout..

14. Structures, Styles, Callbacks, and Message Maps

This section documents the structures, styles, and callback functions used by the Microsoft Foundation Class Library and the MFC message maps.

15. Message Maps (MFC)

This section of the reference lists all message mapping macros and all CWnd message-map entries along with the corresponding member function prototypes:.
