Can I use MFC objects in STL containers?

You could use pointer containers or containers of smart pointers, e.g. Using shared_ptr from Boost or TR1.

MFC objects are simple wrappers around Windows handles, and most are designed to release the handle in the destructor. Because of that it would be dangerous to have a copy constructor, because the first one destructed will make the other one invalid.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
