I'm a newbie at this, and i might ask questions that may seem trivial to the experienced so please be patient with me..:) i'm doing this so that i could get a hang of calling .c functions in mfc.

I added the the function Hello(); on the BN_CLICKED part of the code and i include the hello.h. What is it that i am missing? I was told by the people here that it would work after the rebuild? i'm confused....

Programs that use windows for user interaction do not have a console
output. printf goes nowhere. You can build a console program, or you
can build a windowed program. It is even possible to add a console
window to a windowed program. But that is an unusual combination and
probably not a good learning exercise.
