Inside Visual C++@ Third Edition

The Standard Reference for Programming with Microsoft Visual C++ Now
Updated and Expanded to Cover Version 4

If you plan to use Visual C++, this book is a must. It helps Visual C++
programmers just as Charles Petzold's Programming Windows helped
programmers clearly understand how to program Windows in C." -- Computer,
January 1994

The editors of Software Development called it "the ideal tool for the
student of MFC." PC Techniques hailed it as "one of the best." And PC Week
offered perhaps its highest accolade, saying this landmark work is "just
plain easy to read." Now INSIDE VISUAL C++ -- the bestselling and
critically acclaimed guide from Microsoft Press-has been completely
updated in its third edition to cover Microsoft Visual C++ programming
system version 4. This new edition includes expanded, detailed coverage of
OLE, 32-bit programming for Windows and the Microsoft Foundation Class
(MFC) Library version 4.0. 

Author David J. Kruglinski-a former member of the Visual C++ team-gives an
insider's perspective on how to fully exploit the award-winning Visual C++
version 4 development system. Kruglinski introduces exciting new ways to
create 32-bit applications for Windows using the rich set of integrated
tools included in Visual C++. By utilizing the Visual C++ application
framework based on the MFC library, version 4.0, programmers can
concentrate on the process of creating robust, professional applications.
The accompanying compact disc contains the book's applications and the
source code files necessary to create them. 

Practical Approaches to 32-Bit Programming Challenges

Using ample 32-bit source code examples, Kruglinski allows programmers to
see the MFC library, App Studio, and the new and improved AppWizard and
ClassWizard in action. Readers get a healthy dose of application framework
theory along with tips for exploiting features of the class library.
Fundamentals of Windows-based programming such as event handling, GDI,
dialog boxes, memory management, SDI and MDI applications, printing, and
help are all presented from a fresh perspective. Detailed coverage of more
advanced topics includes multithreading, COM, OLE Automation, DIBs
(device-independent bitmaps), ODBC (the Microsoft Open Database
Connectivity standard), DLLs (dynamic link libraries), and documentview
architecture. 

Appendixes include a short course in the C++ language plus tables of the
message map functions in the Microsoft Foundation Class Library and
Microsoft Windows functions used in the book. A comprehensive table of
contents and a thorough, fully cross-referenced index help readers quickly
locate information about any topic in the book.
