in SDI:
View -> Doc -> FrameWnd -> App.

In MDI:
  CView->CDocument->CMDIChildWnd ->CMDIFrameWnd -> CWinApp.

form view is deriving from CFormView and dialog box is 
deriving from CDialog.

FormView uses CFrameWnd and it can be SDI or MDI application
Dialog box only uses CDialog and CWinApp.

Serialization is the processing of saving object data to
secondary or a permanant storage area. Deserialization is
retrieving the stored data.

In MFC, CArchive object provide this functionality.
"IsStoring" specifies whether the data is being serialized
or de-serialized.

Persistence is a mechanism through which the life of an
object is beyond programs execution lifetime. 

CArchive object in MFC provide this mechanism through
"Serialize" member function of a CDocument class.

Persistence is a way of storing state of an object
permanently to a file / storage place , etc.

To add a column in List view, steps are as follows-
1. Create an object of LVCOLUMN structure.
Initilize the structure meeber variable.

2. LVCOLUMN lvcolm        
lvcolm.mask=LVCF_TEXT|LVCF_FMT|LVCF_WIDTH|LVCF_SUBITEM;//Var
iable specifying which members contain valid information
    lvcolm.fmt=LVCFMT_LEFT;//Alignment of the column header 
	
    lvcolm.cx=100;//Width of the column, in pixels
    lvcolm.pszText="First";	//column header text

3. ListObj.InsertColumn(0,&lvcolm);

The image which is visible on the background is called 
Transparent.

This is the Image of Dialogbox without showuing the dialog 
Items.

If user want to put both edit and up-down(spin) control 
together then we can say it as buddy control.

Specify the buddy control using the CSpinControl::SetBuddy
(CWnd *) function.Pass the CWnd pointer to the Control as 
the parameter.

U have To Do Two Things....

1)Set AutoBuddy propertie as TRUE
2)Alignment Propertie as Right Or Left
