Class names that start with C

Question

The MFC has all class names that start with C. For example, CFile and CGdiObject. Has anyone seen it used elsewhere? Is there an official naming convention guide from Mic

Answer 1

I can't answer all your questions, but as far as I know, it's just to distinguish the MFC classes from other classes -- a form of Hungarian Notation.

Interestingly, it's apparently controversial not just outside MS, but inside as well.
