Re: is this MFC? + Book recommendations?
These are all Windows SDK functions that you are using.
MFC is a set of C++ classes built on top of the SDK by Microsoft. Their
entire purpose in life is to make windows programming easier, cleaner, and
more reusable.
In order to make any recommendations we would probably need to know what it
is that you are trying to do.

I program in CMAC, which is a homegrown language invented about
two decades ago for writing text editors in.
We import and make direct calls to a lot of functions from the
following libraries:
kernel32
user32
advapi32
gdi32
Would these be considered MFC functions, or what category would
these be under?
Also, are there any other books or documentation that would be good
for me to read? (I have Newcomb's book)
