Does anyone know where I can get a good MFC API spec sheet? I have to work with it, whether I want to or not (it's not too bad, but a lot of what I've seen so far looks very strange). It was all kind of thrown at me a little too quickly and I still need to figure out how some of it works so I can program it. BTW, I have to make it work with MS Visual C++.

What part of the API are you looking for? I've discovered that the best actual documentation is exactly what's available through the Help->Index on VC++ 6.0. The books (yes, there are several) that document the classes are essentially identical (though the paper version is nice @ times). Of course, I've also recently found that understanding Windows programming in general makes MFC much easier (it's really just a set of wrappers after all), and I'm currently working through "Programming Windows" by Charles Petzold, and it's quite helpful in understanding the concepts involved.
I agree w/ stuka. The best documentation for MFC is its own. For a jumpstart, do a search in the docs for the "Scribble" tutorial
