1) You certainly cannot do with windows GDI what OpenGL/DirectX can. But for simple drawing GDI-functions are sufficient. OpenGL/DX do ask you to do a LOT of initialization and uninitilization.<br />
2) If I recall correct you can accomplish this:<br />
CButton* pB = new CButton;<br />
pB-&gt;Create( lpszCaption, dwStyle, rect, pParentWnd, nID );<br />
Don't forget to<br />
delete pB;<br />
if you don't need the button any more.

How can I add the newly created button to &quot;MyDialog&quot; dialog at a desired location ? What function do I call and what are the parameters ?

I have two questions<br />
<br />
1)I usually get involved with developing graphics application (not games) such as one can create 2D or 3D chart based on a set of given data points. My application should be able to run on Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP<br />
Which one should I use ?<br />
a)Windows GDI<br />
b)Directr X<br />
c)OpenGL<br />
<br />
I heard that OpenGL can do games and graphics but can MFC <br />
do the same without using any graphic library ?<br />
<br />
2)Second, can MFC create dynamic Windows control on the fly (at run-time) in an MFC application just like Visual Basic does ? If it can, how is it done ?<br />
<br />
I'd appreciate any links/sources or technical documents that can answer my two questions ?<br />

Graphics and dynamic control creation

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.
