File Service Classes

Although MFC for Windows CE supports the main file classes, it implements them somewhat differently than standard MFC does. For example, in the MFC for Windows CE version of CFile, you cannot lock a range of bytes in an open file. Also in MFC for Windows CE, CStdioFile is equivalent to CFile, except that CStdioFile is designed for the Internet.

MFC for Windows CE does not support CSharedFile or any of the classes derived from CMonikerFile. Because MFC for Windows CE does not support Gopher internet service protocols, it does not support CGopherFile. It implements only a subset of standard MFC CInternetFile methods.
