Synopsis

This introduction to Windows programming for C and C++ programmers begins with the fundamentals, from menus, mouse buttons, controls, dialogue boxes, and sound, to the Microsoft Application Architecture, including documents, views, SDI, MDI, and printing and print preview functions. Later sections explore advanced MFC topics such as tool and status bars, common controls, threads and database programming. The book also teaches how to extend an application by writing DLLs or using third-party libraries, how to put ActiveX controls and the Internet to work, and how to make use of other Visual Studio tools to speed development. The attached CD-ROM includes all sample code and applications, as well as third-party tools.

About this title

From the Author

A Comprehensive Guide
This book covers the basics of Windows 98 programming with Visual Studio 6. It's primary focus is on using Visual C++ 6, but spends some time showing you how to use Visual Basic and Visual J++ as supplements.

Many topics that other books either don't cover or cover superficially such as registry, database programming, internet programming, and imaging are presented in such a way that you'll be brought up to a competent level in a short time. The presentation isn't dry and MSDN-like, it's practical and down to earth. The book was written by seasoned professionals who know how to teach the subjects.

I would recommend this book if you're serious about Windows 98 programming. If you're a beginner, that's fine--you'll learn quickly. If you're an advanced programmer, that's also fine--you'll pick up some incredibly valuable information.
