What's the difference between MFC and Windows Form? (Visual C++)?

Question

I'm a student developing an app for a project, and I'm using Visual C++ because we have to use c++ and make a GUI so I thought it was the best option. QT just confuses me a lot.

Anyway, Im just curious what the difference is between MFC (Microsoft Foundation Classes) and a Windows Form, and also everyone says I should use MFC, but how do you create forms with MFC because Visual C++ only generates code for that?

Thanks in advance!

The difference is MFC does all the backend for you and Windows Form you have to code what MFC does for you.

However - not sure I would recommend MFC anymore - .NET framework is already relpacing MFC.
