Using CMFCPropertyPage in VS2017

I can use the VS 2017 IDE to create a Dialog resource and then I go to add a class:

Add Class

I wanted to choose CMFCPropertyPage but it does not show. So is it Ok to just select CPropertyPage and then manually change it?

I am confused because it indicates here that I could select the class:

Please advise. Thanks.

What I found out was that you need to be in the ClassView and not the ResourceView.

If you right-click a dialog resource to add a class you get a limited set of classes to derive from.

But if you right-click in the class view and select Add Class then you can create the class from CMFCPropertyPage.

I was surprised it did not create a empty dialog resource if it didn't exist though. And it was lacking the needed code. But I copied it over.

I know haw to do it now:
