The first one calls CreateWindowEx and allows access to the extended window flags, and the latter calls CreateWindowEx, but specifies the extended window flags as zero. Or, at least this is the way it does in MFC v7.0..

The biggest reason is backwards compatibility. The first function offers a superseded set of options related to window creation. However, the MFC library MUST support older versions also. Like, if a client has MFC version 7.0 libraries installed, this library must also support programs designed for MFC 6.0 or earlier. Thus, if a program used to call CWnd::Create, and the behaviour of this function was altered when the version changed, the results would become unpredictable, and the program might not work correctly. Thus, Microsoft preferred to provide a new function.
