Unfortunately he won't listen to any such suggestion. He'll ask the same thing tomorrow, I bet ya. Do you remember that he's a noted member of the BBB?

Well, then tomorow we will reply that he need to buy a good book. I'm wondering who will be tired first

The MSDN Library[^] has everything you need if you are confident with C++ itself.
Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.

Are you kidding ? 
Learning how to use MFC from MSDN, this should be a nightmare
I think MSDN is ok if you are looking for something specific (like what does this member function do or what are the member of such class). But it is probably not very efficient if know almost nothing in MFC.

Firstly it's how I learned, apart from reading source code, secondly it has the hierarchy chart, a vital tool and dozens of downloadable examples covering lots of different development areas, hardly a nightmare although it did take me a couple of years to get fully on top of it. Now I haven't been using it actively for nearly 4 years and new versions have been released so my MFC is way out of date, maybe MSDN also hasn't kept up but I guess the basic there are still useful for a beginner.

Learn Windows programming first, and know it well. The fundamentals of windowing, messaging, and GDI
at least.
Then MFC will make a lot more sense, and the MFC source code is the best documentation there is.

It depends to your knowledge of programming I suggest for start with classes for controls like(CBUTTON,CTREECTRL,....).

dear guys,
now my problem is
I have use a lot of .h file to code , say, malloc.h stdlib.h
and then I want to use some stl to code because it has some good method, so I include the
string list, but
then I complie then all, the debugger tells me the list variable is not declare it,
and then I try to use <list.h>, and found it is different from list..
anyone can tell me how to make my code run without such error?

Which means you are watching a variable in the debug window that has gone out of scope.

so how to solove it and make it runnable in vc?
you get my problem?

Apparently not. Your description is way too vague. Are you receiving a compiler, linker, or run-time error? Are you having trouble using the debugger? Does your program run, but fail to produce the correct result?

sorry I did not clear my idea.
I mean.
originally, I use the pure c to code, but I want to use the list (from STL) to do some operation,
so I insert some code which use the list varible list<<int >> a, and then I need to include the <<list>> file and <<algorithm>> file, right? But when I complie it, the debugger tells the a is not declared , but I have include the <<list>>, so I am not sure why, it is not runnable ?

Unlikely, given the lack of relevant information you've provided. If you want help, please explain your problem in detail and show only the code that relates to the problem. Be forewarned, posting an entire class or file is a sure-fire way to have your post flamed and/or ignored.

Well it's been a long time since I was last on here. More to the point, it's been a long time since I coded in C++. I have been consigned to the spineless world of VB6 for the last year and a half unfortunately. (Looks around for a sympathetic shoulder to cry on)
Anyway, I've got a small project on the go and there was something I just wanted to query on. Having been spoilt (and I don't mean that in a good way cos I've got sloppy) with zero-initialisation of basic types in VB6, I was wondering if there is a setting in Visual C++ 2003 compiler which forces the compiler to zero-initialise basic types? I seem to recall some compilers (like GNU ones) are able to be configured to do this. I know it's less efficient but I like being able to start using variables "clean" as it were. I know there is default initialisation defined by ANSI C++ which works like this:
int * someint = new int();
but that seems awfully awkward and looks like it'll cause headaches. Having to keep a lookout for pointer management of basic types seems like a pain. I just want to be able to configure the compiler so I can go:
int someint;
and know that after the declaration it'll be zeroed out. I know there is also memset, but it just makes the code messier.
Or perhaps I should just be a good boy and initialise everything explicitly?

I too was once a Basic programmer and will spend eternity ( well MAX_INT milliseconds at least ) repenting of my ways. 
If you want default initialization done propoerly, you know what's coming, you'll have to do it yourself.
Here's one way.
<br />
struct Int<br />
{<br />
Int(){ i = 0; }<br />
int i;<br />
};<br />
Of course now you've done that you might as well go the whole hog and make it a fully fledged class with operators and conversion casts and stream handling, default conversion to a string for tracing and ...
whoops we've just recreated .NET System.Int32 Aaaaaaarrgh

Yeh lol. OK, well I thought there might be a way but clearly not. Unfortunately, the project is Win32 so can't use .Net classes.  Guess I'll just do it all explicitly. I've forgotten all my good C++ habits in the last two years. Thanks for the help.
