dialog based application

[Pandiani]

Ive just made my first dialog application using MFC. It is interesting that there is no main() or WinMain() function.
I have programmed in C++ for a while, but not Visual C++ and windows applications.

What is substituion for main() finction and how this work?

What is the purpose of BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP?
Maybe this is substituion for main() or ...?

If you create a MFC based App then WinMain is still there its just buried within the MFC framework.
