Thereafter a Microsoft has released the MFC Feature Pack in 2008, seems like they left it alone. No books, no detailed publication on that, just abridged MSDN 
It makes the use of it a quite difficult, although a lots of applications could benefit from it.
There still a lots of companies who use an MFC where the speed, light weight and high level of customization required. .NET is NOT always a best solution.
Would be good to have some feedback on this from the Microsoft, but it's not likely they read this forum.
So it would be good here, on CodeProject, to consolidate everything related to MFC Feature Pack somewhere under MFC in separate folder. It would be just straight place where C++ programmers interested in modern looking GUI can read, contribute or ask the related questions.

You should perhaps put this in the Bugs and Suggestions forum.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Why would this be better in the codeproject bugs/suggestion forum? 
I am fairly certain Chris doesn't want to hear anything regarding the MFC feature pack.

This is a suggestion for CP, that's why.

I'm pretty sure Microsoft don't read the CP Bugs'n'sugs forum.
Heck, they don't read their own bugs'n'sugs forum...

They have one?
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

It's called MSDN...

Hi,

You can find a list of changes to ATL/MFC on the Visual C++ Team blog[^].

Codeproject already has a C/C++/MFC forum[^].

Randor, thanks for the links, but what I meant is:
What we need are modern native technologies for real (desktop) applications.
And dedicated place for it, where C++ developers can get help on modern GUI, and start use it extensively.

... strike again!
Thieves spend months digging 50ft tunnel under Tesco[^] and steal £80,000 from the cash machine, from underneath!
Now, I know they are criminals, and I know it's wrong, but...I can't help respecting that, and half hoping they get away with it...

I imagine that they would make more money per hour and with less labor flipping burgers.
|

Minimum wage is £6.31ph, so a 50 hour week will earn you £315.50.
That's ~£6850 for 5 months, assuming they pay no NI contributions.
So...Provided they have 11 members or less (and I'd assume they did) they are up on the deal...
And that's assuming they can find a job giving them 50 hours every week rather than one of the company friendly "zero-hour" contracts.
Crime does pay, it seems...

Perhaps it's my aversion to hard labor that drove my earlier post.  However, risking ones freedom for that amount of money seems odd (yes I know there have been people killed for $2). If you're gonna do it, do it bigger than that.

It's not that high a risk, really - the tunnel is underground, so they don't appear on CCTV anywhere, and you pick up nice fresh cash.
I'm sure it's more complex than that, but if your alternative is 50 hours a week in Burger Hell for sod-all ad infinitum I can see the attraction!

The workers at Tesco probably did it to get a raise

Not a bad wage. Tax free, split that with 1 or 2 other people?

Not bad at all, when you figure tax out of the equation - and I suspect criminals don't pay tax on their ill-gotten gains.

They do - but not to what we would consider the government.

There is more chance of the money going back in to circulation in the hands of the thieves, also big business doesn't do Tax in the UK thanks to their chums in power

In order to freely use a significant amount stolen money without raising suspicion, you have to slowly funnel the money back into the system using some sort of legitimate business that preferably provides services, so the forged sales transactions are hard to trace.
Or, you can get a middle man who funnels money in similar way, using multiple corrupt businesses owners, but then you pay a much higher rate than what you would normally pay as taxes if you gained that amount of money legally.
I learned all this from watching Breaking Bad.

80k split between a number of people is not a significant amount of money!

After all that work I kinda hope they get away with it too!
Politicians and CEO types do it all the time but with a brief case through the front door.
Along with Antimatter and Dark Matter they've discovered the existence of Doesn't Matter which appears to have no effect on the universe whatsoever!

This bit stood out for me
'You may have seen people acting suspiciously on Friday night, possibly covered in soil.

Cool plan eh?
I am surprised way more of these aren't carried out, it is a fairly obvious attack route.
