I learned the basics at functionx.com, more specifically in their Visual C++ section. Start looking under the "How-To" section on the right side. They teach you how to create a project, create dialog boxes, call them in the code when you press a button, transfer information from the dialog box back to the program, etc... Once you understand that, then you can look to the left side under "Windows Controls" and learn how each standard windows control works. The "MFC Fundamentals" above it is also very helpful to learn next. If you understand all of that, then you can understand all the articles here and can begin work.

The biggest hurdle programmers have (and that I had) is first, understanding that with console apps, the programmer guides the action completely. In MFC applications, the mechanics of the program are already written for you when the AppWizard creates your project, but you, the programmer, need to program what should be done when certain events occur.

For example, if you create a button and add an event handler, Visual Studio will change the mechanics of your project and add a function that will be run when the button is pressed. All you have to do is to write code in that function that should be run when the button is pressed.

I learned MFC basics on functionx.com but I came here because there's much more information but it's only useful if you are somewhat familiar with MFC. Good luck in your studies.
