Windows 95 Programming with Custom Controls

In moving to Windows 95, Microsoft has split the custom control format,
with OCX controls for the 32-bit market and VBX controls limited to the
16-bit market. The two formats are in fact radically different and
entirely independent architectures, and today's programmers will have to
become proficient at both control formats to achieve the greatest possible
market for their products.

The solution is a breakthrough in the custom control industry: the
combination OCX/VBX control. It may sound difficult, but Paul Cilwa will
show you the way -- and make it seem easy. With Windows 95 Programming
with Custom Controls you'll learn how to move from the 16-bit world to the
32-bit world, without gross confusion or excessive head banging.
Bestselling author Paul Cilwa returns, explaining the advantages of
component-based Windows programming in his distinctive, legendary style. 

Windows 95 Programming with Custom Controls: 

* Gives you in-depth instructions for creating OCXs.
* Features expert instruction on writing powerful custom controls
  that are versatile and can be easily extended.
* Teaches you important Windows concepts, such as messages and
  properties, resources, bitmaps, the GDI, processing files in
  Windows, and more.
* Shows you how to develop incredible Windows applications using
  visual programming. 

The companion CD-ROM includes custom control development software, OCX
controls, combination OCX/VBX controls, C++ source code, templates, and
more.
