[Dev-C++] Programming in OO for Windows

[<and...@su...>]

Dear Users,

   A)If I want to develop an C++ object-oriented program in Windows, I can:
     A.1) Use MFC and MSVC++;
     A.2) Use WinApi32 and develop/create my classes/methods, etc;

   B)If I want to make only C programs in Windows I can use directly
     WinApi32;

   C)I heard from you, gentlemen, that MFC is going down in a few time
     (LongHorn, etc...);

My Questions:
1-Am I correct in my statement in A)?
2-In the previous question, if I am correct, are there more ways to do that?
3-Am I correct in my statement in B)?
4-Am I correct in my statement in C)?
5-In the previous question, if I am correct, and If I am correct in 1) too,
  is it better I use the A.2) option to develop an OO program in Windows?
  If don´t what is the best way?

6-I can´t choose my platform, I MUST use Windows :-(

Regards
Andre

3) Use .NET and MSVC++.

Yes.

Probably it will keep existing but the future is .NET. Why learn MFC when
.NET is newer and better?

There are many more ways - innumerable libraries exist, like wxWindows, as
already mentioned, and GTK+. This page (Google result) should give you a
list of options:
