Stop C style casting in C++ for MFC needs.

Hi.

I want to know if there's any way to stop C style casting in C++ for MFC needs. For example, here is the code.

#include "stdafx.h"

#include "01.h"

App myApp;

BOOL App::InitInstance()
{
	m_pMainWnd = new MainWindow;

	m_pMainWnd->ShowWindow(m_nCmdShow);
	m_pMainWnd->UpdateWindow();

	return TRUE;
}

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(MainWindow, CFrameWnd)  //this is not a casting
	ON_WM_CREATE()
	ON_WM_PAINT()
END_MESSAGE_MAP()

MainWindow::MainWindow()
{
	Create(NULL, _T("window"));
}

void MainWindow::OnCreate()
{

}

void MainWindow::OnPaint()
{

}

Im having a problem in the line where I commented. It's not a casting. That's how MFC begins the message map. But the compiler tries to cast the ON_WM_CREATE() into a (MainWindow, CFrameWnd). The only way, as I see, to stop this casting is insert a semicolon at the end of the BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP line. But it would cause other problems with MFC.

So I want to know how can I prevent errors like this ? Why on earth would they implements such things that makes the compiler gone fuzzy ?

Thanks in advance.
