The loss of the class wizard drove me nuts at first. I still do a lot of work in VC6 and when the class wizard works, it's very refreshing. However, I'm reminded how often it fails and have found that I'm so accustomed to how VS 2008 works that a few things are now easier in VS 2008. Good news is that VS 2010 brings the class wizard back and improves on it, or at least parts of it (I haven't dug deeply into it.)

Do note that MFC itself hasn't changed much if up-porting an app. There is the feature pack additions (which range from interesting to totally junk) and there are some minor quirks when up-porting MFC.

As for the class wizard replacement; you use the properties. Triggering it is very confusing but you basically have to open the properties pane and .h file and click on the class name or the .cpp file and click in the message map block. A lightning, and two nonsense icons will pop up on the top of the pane which will show you events, messages and overrides.

Like I said, I totally hated this at first, but it's grown on me. I'll still welcome the class wizard back, but won't totally abandon this method. And given all the other niceties of VS 2008, I'm very ready to abandon VC 6 in about three week's time (I've actually already converted the entire solution to VS 2008, but we can't switch until we ship our current release, which is in beta. One very nice thing will be that our .NET and C++ modules will be built with the same solution for now on.)
