7.6. Event Handling with Microsoft Windows MFC

If you're programming using the Microsoft Windows MFC (Microsoft Foundation Classes) programming model, then you don't need your own event loop. You just declare the messages that your window accepts, and, as events happen, MFC sends the appropriate message to your window object. Example 7-10 shows an outline of what you need to do to integrate (in this example) DNS-SD browsing into an MFC application.

Example 7-10. Windows MFC example
