FindMFC
-------

Finds the native Microsoft Foundation Class Library (MFC) for developing MFC
applications on Windows.

.. note::

  MFC is an optional component in Visual Studio and must be installed
  separately for this module to succeed.

Once the MFC libraries and headers are found, no additional manual linking is
needed, as they are part of the development environment.

Result Variables
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This module defines the following variables:

``MFC_FOUND``
  Boolean indicating whether MFC support is found.

Examples
^^^^^^^^

Using this module to check if the application can link to the MFC libraries:

.. code-block:: cmake

  find_package(MFC)

  if(MFC_FOUND)
    # Example logic when MFC is available...
    set(CMAKE_MFC_FLAG 2)
    add_executable(app WIN32 main.cpp)
    target_compile_definitions(app PRIVATE _AFXDLL)
  endif()

^^^^^^^^

* The :variable:`CMAKE_MFC_FLAG` variable.
#]=======================================================================]

# Assume no MFC support
set(MFC_FOUND "NO")

# Only attempt the try_compile call if it has a chance to succeed:
set(MFC_ATTEMPT_TRY_COMPILE 0)
if(WIN32 AND NOT UNIX AND NOT BORLAND AND NOT MINGW)
  set(MFC_ATTEMPT_TRY_COMPILE 1)
endif()
