The MFC Feature Pack is a set of enhancements to the version 9 of MFC to enable MFC-based applications to take on the look and feel of Microsoft Windows and Office applications. It was first shipped in Visual Studio 2008, and as of Visual Studio 2010 it is completely integrated and documented.

The Visual C++ 2008 Feature Pack extends the VC++ Libraries shipped with Visual Studio 2008 and is fully covered under Microsoft's standard support policies.

The VC++ 2008 MFC libraries have been extended to support creation of applications that have:

  • Office Ribbon style interface
  • Office 2007, Office 2003, and Office XP look and feel
  • Modern Visual Studio-style docking toolbars and panes
  • Fully customizable toolbars and menus
  • A rich set of advanced GUI controls
  • Advanced MDI tabs and groups

This feature pack also includes an implementation of TR1. Portions of TR1 are scheduled for adoption in the upcoming C++0x standard as the first major addition to the ISO 2003 standard C++ library. Our implementation includes a number of important features such as:

  • Smart pointers
  • Regular expression parsing
  • New containers (tuple, array, unordered set, etc)
  • Sophisticated random number generators
  • Polymorphic function wrappers
  • Type traits

Note: This feature pack does not include C99 compatibility or support for special math functions.
