Drawing in MFC C++

[komal]

I want to draw small circles , the number of which depends on user input. Now these circles are to be located such that they lie around a bigger circle...I need ideas to know how I can do this.

Well you could just get an equation for the big circle, then find the appropriate points where the center of the smaller circles need to be.

How do I find those points

You should know the trigonometry basics:

given a radian angle θ, the sine of that will be the y position and the cosine the x position (this in a circle with 1 as radius)
