What exactly is MFC?
Was it ever officially phased in?

Can you use MFC just a little bit? Like for your message handler and dialogs & controls, but then do everything else with plain DX/win32?

For my terrain editor I want a floating toolbar, consisting of many buttons each with a picture rather than text. When passing the cursor over, I want the bar at the bottom of the screen to say e.g "Paints current texture to map".
What is that last part called? Is this easy without MFC?
I have a big problem with the MSVC help, in that all the windows controls give MFC stuff when you look at them in the index. Bummer.
What exactly is classwizard? I tried using it in my win32 project and it blathered on about adding new classes when I created a dialog. What was the class it created for a button for exactly?

WTL is being phased out...
I know this is off-topic a little but I'll ask anyways. Is .NET an alternative solution to MFC and if so, how much longer do you think MFC will be around for?

d000hg, I think what you want is just a plain old static window. You can make a child window by putting a CreateWindow() in your WM_CREATE message with the class name being "static" and window flags as only WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE, and if you want to change the text you could use the SendMessage(). It's all in the MSDN (like everyone always says ^_~ ) Look in the index for the function names and you should be good to go.
And in regards to MFC, I'm not an expert on it or anything but I feel like I'm cheating if I use it. Personally I like good old Win32 code =)
