When I run my app it opens a window (as expected) but it also opens a blank

I need to workaround (i.e a compiler issue) etc?  I got the code from the
msdn site to test the compiler, so if its just something in there when I
learn mfc it wont matter.

 I guess you might be using a wrong .def file, indicating that the program

you
 compile is a console program or you link command might be wrong, but that
