MFCCominaisuudet

MFCCominaisuudet is a Finnish term used to refer to the features and capabilities of the Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) library. In Finnish documentation and educational materials it functions as a consolidated catalog or reference point for developers to understand what MFC can provide for Windows application development. The term does not denote a separate product; rather, it aggregates the library’s functional areas into a single overview.

The scope of MFCCominaisuudet typically covers core areas of the MFC framework. Key categories include the application and event model (classes such as CWinApp and CFrameWnd, along with message maps for handling user input and system events), and the Document/View architecture (CDocument, CView, CDocTemplate and serialization mechanisms like CArchive). User interface and controls, dialog support, and data exchange through DDX/DDV are also part of the features catalog, as are graphics, device context drawing with GDI, and printing support.

Additional areas commonly described under MFCCominaisuudet include data access and persistence (ODBC and related data classes), OLE/COM integration (for embedding and automation scenarios), and basic networking or socket support where available in the library. The catalog may also reference debugging aids, toolchain compatibility with Visual Studio, and platform considerations for Windows versions.

In practice, MFCCominaisuudet serves as a reference framework for developers to locate relevant capabilities, compare options, and plan implementation strategies when building Windows applications with MFC. Official Microsoft documentation remains the authoritative source for detailed API descriptions.
