Synopsis

This book is readable and uses a building-block approach to learning Windows 95 programming. Learn how to use either the Borland OWL and Microsoft MFC class libraries to control Windows 95 from C++. Build applications compliant with the new Windows 95 interface, convert existing applications to support Windows 95 improved memory model, and learn how to incorporate multimedia elements in your applications. Using this book, a programmer who knows C and C++ but has no Windows programming experience can easily learn the "black art" of Windows programming.

Simply the best way to learn the art of Windows 95 programming. >@BCCOPY = Nobody ever said Windows 95 programming was easy. But this book makes it a whole lot easier than it's ever been before. Programming with MFC for Windows 95 doesn't just explain how specific techniques work: it explains why they work. It will help you develop a real feel for what's going on “under the hood” ―invaluable Windows programming instincts that might otherwise take years to learn.

Starting with the basics, expert Vic Broquard walks step-by- step through the construction of real Windows 95 applications. Learn how to work with the Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) libraries to quickly create the standard Windows program elements you will often need, from menus and dialog boxes to print preview windows and splash screens.

Even if you've programmed with Windows 3.x, you'll appreciate this book's clear explanations of new Windows 95 features such as spin controls, property sheets, splitter windows and DIB sections. Broquard's specific porting tips and design rules will help you migrate your Windows 3.x applications to Windows 95 painlessly―and build new applications that work perfectly in both environments.

Programming with MFC for Windows 95 includes robust, real-world sample programs―not just snippets. The accompanying CD-ROM includes all sample code.

Whether you're new to Windows programming, experienced with Windows 3.x, or simply want to learn more about MFC, you'll find this book invaluable.
