Re: newbie question: Can I modify MFC source code?

Yes, but it is a Really Bad Idea.

According to the specs, you can do this but you must not call the resulting DLL anything
that resembles a standard MFC DLL. But now you have to make sure your changes track all
releases and bug fixes in MFC and redistribute your DLL with every new MFC release.

As far as I can tell, there is Always An Easier Way To Deal With This

Hi, everyone, suddenly, a strange question came to my mind:
If for some reasons or own desire.....
Can I modify the MFC source code, and rebuild the MFC***.DLL and libs?
It seems no one have talked this issue on this news groups.
Any suggestion? Thank you.
