Microsoft Foundation Classes Library

The Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) Library is a set of pre-written code tools that developers use to build Windows applications more efficiently. It provides a structured way to handle common tasks like creating windows, buttons, menus, and managing user input, reducing the need to write these complex parts from scratch. Essentially, MFC acts as a blueprint and toolkit, streamlining the development process and ensuring consistent behavior across Windows programs, which helps programmers focus on the unique features of their applications rather than reinventing basic functionalities.
