An MFC App, by default, runs in its own thread - even if your application is single threaded. If you link to MFC using Multi-threaded MFC DLL (which is a Visual C++ 2010 IDE option) then your GUI app runs in a separate thread of its own. Any callback functions in your app that you register with MFC get called fine with no problems.
