Older versions of MFC did something similar to message reflection by providing virtual functions for a few messages, such as messages for owner-drawn list boxes (WM_DRAWITEM, and so on).
MFC舊版本通過爲一些消息提供虛函數的機制部分實現了類似的功能，最典型的就是自繪制的列表框（WM_DRAWITEM等等）。

But they say this is more a reflection on the nature of the message then the writer's ability to use language correctly.
