MFC Predefined Symbols
The latest version of this topic can be found at MFC Predefined Symbols.
MFC projects always include several header files that support windows. These are added via #include statements in the StdAfx.h file:
#include <afxwin.h> //MFC core and standard components
#include <afxext.h> //MFC extensions
#include <afxdisp.h //MFC automation classes
#include <afxdtctl.h> //MFC support for Internet Explorer common controls
#include <afxcmn.h> //MFC support for Windows common controls.
The header files include symbol ID values for MFC common values. These symbols are only available when you are working in an MFC project. Note that the AFX_ prefix is followed by the standard symbol name prefixes.
