If your project is MFC based, then the class wizard will give you this option, if not, then you only get generic class. Same goes for ATL. You can, however, use the generic class and supply the base class to be whatever you wish, but if you're not using MFC, deriving from CButton makes very little sense.<br />

Hope this helps,<br />

my project is MFC based and I have all along had the option to create MFC classes.. &nbsp;What I'm trying to say is that all of the sudden (started two days ago) I no longer have that option in my project. &nbsp;can't figure out why :)

All the sudden in my workspace, when I choose Insert-&gt;New Class, I only see Generic Class in the class type drop-down.. I used to see MFC class and I forget what the other one was. &nbsp; <br />
<br />
Did I inadvertantly turn something off?<br />
thanks<br />

Probably simple VC++ 6.0 IDE question

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
