Writing MFC Applications
The new home for Visual Studio documentation is Visual Studio 2017 Documentation on docs.microsoft.com.
The latest version of this topic can be found at Writing MFC Applications.
This article explains the initial steps you take to develop your application. First, you must decide what kind of application you are writing. Several of the choices were discussed in Application Design Choices. Will your application be:
Running on the Internet or an intranet
Running on a client or on a server
Running in a browser or as a stand-alone application
Using COM or Active technology
Downloading data using WinInet or asynchronous monikers
Your decisions determine which classes are appropriate for your application. Your answers also help determine the selections you make when you run the Application Wizard to begin constructing your application.
After you've made your initial design decisions about your Internet application, you can use the Application Wizard to get started. Use the Application Wizard to create a skeleton application and modify the code as described in the following articles:
For an ActiveX control, see ActiveX Controls on the Internet.
For an Active document, see Active Documents on the Internet.
