Most of time, we will write some common code for MFC and Win32 applications, such as convert operations(char, string, CString, int... convertion). So the code should support MFC and Win32 features. In this article, I will give you an example about how to use MFC features in Win32 application.
First, we have to create an common header file, named StdW32.h, which contains the MFC header files.
Then, we have to include this header filel in all the *.h or *.cpp files.
Now I attach the StdW32.h file code as below:
1 // StdW32.h file for supporting MFC features in Win32 Application. 2 // You can add some common header files here. 3 // Make sure include this file in *.h or *.cpp files. 4 5 #ifndef STDW32_H_ 6 #define STDW32_H_ 7 8 // Define windows version 9 #ifndef WINVER // Specifies that the minimum required platform is Windows Vista. 10 #define WINVER 0x0500 // Win2k 11 #endif 12 13 #ifndef _WIN32_WINNT // Specifies that the minimum required platform is Windows Vista. 14 #define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0500 // Win2k 15 #endif 16 17 // Support MFC features in Win32 application. 18 // Setting: Project Properties->Configuration Properties->General->Use of MFC->Use MFC in a Shared DLL. 19 #define VC_EXTRALEAN // Exclude rarely-used stuff from Windows headers 20 #include <afxwin.h> // MFC core and standard components 21 #include <afxext.h> // MFC extensions 22 #include <afxdisp.h> // MFC Automation classes 23 #include <afxdtctl.h> // MFC support for Internet Explorer 4 Common Controls 24 #ifndef _AFX_NO_AFXCMN_SUPPORT 25 #include <afxcmn.h> // MFC support for Windows Common Controls 26 #endif // _AFX_NO_AFXCMN_SUPPORT 27 28 29 // Add common files here... 30 #include <iostream> 31 #include <string> 32 #include <vector> 33 34 using namespace std; 35 36 #endif // STDW32_H_
