You can think of Windows Forms as the MFC of the .Net world. It has controls like ListView, TreeView, Button, etc. Which map to the same underlying windows controls as CListView, CTreeView, CButton, etc.

With the Windows Forms controls, you get the default Windows look and feel. As with MFC, you can custom draw Windows Forms controls or customize their feel.

WPF on the other hand is the next generation. For example, with the TreeView (in either Windows Forms or MFC) your nodes can generally have an image and text (and multiple levels of nodes). If you want to display another image (say to the right of the text), then you have to perform custom drawing to add the second image. With WPF, the tree nodes can contain pretty much any other control. So I could create a "custom control" that has a left image, text, and right image. Then use that custom control as a node. If I want to add a button to my nodes, then I can update my custom control to include a button, and all the nodes that use that control immediately get the button. WPF is extemely powerful and flexible.

You can also apply styling or themes to any or all controls to customize their look or feel. WPF does have a larger learning curve though, so it may be a bit much to start with.

Windows Forms and WPF are really best utilized if you are using a .Net language. I'm not sure how easy it would be to integrate into a MFC application, and honestly I wouldn't recommend it. But you posted in the .Net framework forum, so I'm assuming you want to start using .Net.

Take care,
Tom
