# Microsoft Foundation Classes

The Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) are a library of c++ classes used by various programming packages on Microsoft Windows.

WorkShop Visual uses the MFC to provide cross-platform compatibility in order to create a design that will run on both Motif and Microsoft Windows.

In the Generate dialog you have the option of generating MFC code for Motif or MFC (XP) code for Microsoft Windows.
