Who told you that Microsoft "retired" MFC? To paraphrase Mark Twain, this talk of MFC demise is greatly exaggerated. They might not be not pushing it the way they're pushing their .NET stuff, but it's certainly still there. MFC is part of Visual C++ 2005, both the libraries and the wizards in the IDE. In fact, they released a new version of it with additional features [http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235433.aspx]. The breaking changes are very minimal [http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms244941.aspx], so it ought to be possible to port an existing MFC app with little or no difficulty. Moshe

There are good reasons that M$ has retired MFC. Why not try wxWidgets?

Perhaps I could, but with this I could not use mfc. And it would be very much work to port it... Visual C++ 2005 came out to late.
