missing <afxwin.h>

Posted by on 28 Mar 2008 at 2:06 PM

Hello,

I am doing a lesson in a C++ Guide Book to create a simple window (code below) and the Visual C++ Express 2005 IDE reported this error:

Cannot open include file: 'afxwin.h': No such file or directory

I set - Use MFC in a shared DLL - as the book directed.

// Ex13_01.cpp
// An elementary MFC program
#include <afxwin.h> // For the class library

// Application class definition
class COurApp:public CWinApp
{
	public;
		virtual BOOL InitInstance();
};

// Window class definition
class COurWnd:public CFrameWnd
{
	public:
		// Class constructor
		COurWnd()
		{
			Create(0, "Our dumb MFC Application");
		}
};

// Function to create an instance of the main window
BOOL COurApp::InitInstance(void)
{
	// Construct a window object in the free store
	m_pMainWnd = new COurWnd;
	m_pMainWnd->ShowWindow(m_nCmdShow); // ...and display it
	return TRUE;
}

// Application object definition at global scope
COurApp AnApplication; // Define an application object

Hmm...

The last time I checked, MSVC++ Express Editions do not support MFC nor ATL. You will need to pay for the professional editions for that.

Are you saying that that option shouldn't appear in the IDE?
Or that I chose an option that isn't supported in the free version?

I personally never seen the option anywhere. I believe it should be there; just will give a message of sorts that it is not available.

Please keep in mind that I never used MFC before. I am sure other members can correct me if im wrong.
