Relation between MFC and BCGControlBar Pro classes

Since a lot of BCGControlBar Pro classes were incorporated into MFC (Visual Studio 2008 SP1 or later; please read the full story here), adapting an application that uses BCGControlBar to MFC or an MFC-based application to BCGControlBar Pro is a pretty easy task. The table below displays an MFC class name and corresponding BCGControlBar Pro name:
