Isn't MFC just a wrapper around Win32 API? However, I pray I'll never
have to do something similar...

In that sense even QT is also a wrapper around the Win32 API. Infact any
toolkit will always have to be a wrap the Win32 API functionality only. The
thing about toolkits like QT and MFC is that they abstract the Win32 API
functionality into objects and the real problem is actually to get these
objects to talk together. That is exactly what the QT-MFC migration path
provides a bridge for QT objects to talk to MFC. I suspect there is not
reverse bridge.
Thanks
