   Working with Toolkit Pro for MFC. My order is number 101325.

With regular MFC, I'm used to putting controls onto a dialog box, and then adding a variable of the type that wraps the control from the MFC library.

How does this change when I'm using the Toolkit Pro?

Since the Toolkit Pro controls do not show up in the Visual Studio toolbox, how would I add a control from the CodeJock library to my dialog?

Must I create and configure the CodeJock controls all in code? Do they not work with the dialog designer?

I'm confused. Please explain how to get started using the Toolkit Pro library.

Thanks,
Rich

	The best way to get started using XTP is by working through the samples that are most similar to your particular application structure.

	Thank you for you response. However I was hoping I could get answers to my most important questions: Since the Toolkit Pro controls do not show up in the Visual Studio toolbox, how would I add a control from the CodeJock library to my dialog? Must I create and configure the CodeJock controls all in code? Do they not work with the dialog designer?

	here the keywords are subclassing https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb773183(v=vs.85).aspx DDX_ mechanism https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2250970/whats-the-correct-way-to-create-a-subclass-of-a-mfc-control For example, if you create a button with the dialog designer and you add a member control variable CButton m_myButton (which is subclassing with the DDX_ mechanism) than you just change CButton to CXTPButton
