Thanx Brian for your reply, 
ctypes is really very helpful in my case to access most of the
functions. But I am stuck with some functions which return objects of
MFC::CString or CMap<>. ctype talks only about c type function and
simple data types. SWIG provides readymade wrappers for common STL
classes but not MFC :(
