Why?????
Isn't much simpler to use Win32 source files in MFC project?

Don't you just include the appropriate MFC header files (see StdAfx.h of standard MFC project)? Cool | :cool:

If I Include all MFC Headers file it gives in linking error

"void * __cdecl operator new(unsigned int)" (??2@YAPAXI@Z) already defined in LIBCMT.lib(new.obj)

when compiming in MFC Statis Library mode

Sorry, don't know then. Was wondering how to include MFC into Win32 myself. I think it may be best to create an MFC project, and then put or link all your Win32 stuff in there. Only option I can think of. Smile | :)

Belive me its a pain to convert win32 application to MFC application its not as easy as including few header files and thats it.

Besides ur current win32 logic may stop functioning or give unexected error coz both are off different architecture. and besides there nothing much that MFC can do that win32 can't.

Well I have solved this issue

1.First of include all headers files present in a MFC project stdafx.h

2.Go to Project --Settings ---General and select either MFC in shared library or MFC in static Library Option

3.In static library option it will give the already defined linking error to solve this issue follow this link and do the apropriate steps as given in this link

after it include stdafx.h where u want to use MFC.

#include <windows.h> or #include <afxwin.h>

After that, the MFC classes should be available to your application.

From the MSDN

const UINT WM_TASKBARCREATED = 
    ::RegisterWindowMessage(_T("TaskbarCreated"));

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMainFrame, CFrameWnd)
    ON_REGISTERED_MESSAGE(WM_TASKBARCREATED, 
                          OnTaskBarCreated)
END_MESSAGE_MAP(CMainFrame, CFrameWnd)

LRESULT CMainFrame::OnTaskBarCreated(WPARAM wp, LPARAM lp)
{
    VERIFY(InstallIcons());
    return 0;
}

BOOL CMainFrame::InstallIcons()
{
    NOTIFYICONDATA nid; 
    //
    // stuff nid with args
    //
    return Shell_NotifyIcon(NIM_ADD, &nid);
}

Hope you get the idea
