MFC: draw in a control

Question

Looking for some code/project examples on how to draw a pulse waveform with certain width/frequency in a MFC control. Which control would be the best to use for this purpose?. I am very new to this. Have already done some online search and definitely can use some expert ideas. I am lost.

A picture control might seem like the natural choice, but those get implemented as a CStatic which resist being updated dynamically. I'd probably go for a custom class derived from CWnd. — Mark Ransom

The MFC CStatic class represents a picture control. You can derive a class from CStatic and paint whatever you like in its OnPaint member function. For examples search codeproject.com and codeguru.com for "CStatic", like this one:
