- Well, I don't know about Visual C, but I suspect you are talking about Visual C++.
- Visual C++ comes WITH MFC. MFC stands for Microsoft Foundation Class, its an
- object library. So your question needs a little rephrasing.
- But as languages go, its like this; MFC is one of the more funky, cryptic, strangest
- implimentations of the object-oriented paradigm that I've ever seen. However,
- once you get used to it it actually makes development on the windows platform
- quite fast.
- Yes, you can still write windows apps with strait C, on Visual Workbench (which
- is Visual C++, don't get confused...), but after using a class library (doesn't have to
- be MFC, could be OWL or whatever Symantec offers, etc), I don't know why you'd
- want to.
