INSIDE VISUAL C++ -- an insider's perspective on the hows and whys of
programming in Microsoft's ground-breaking new development environment--is
now available from Microsoft Press.

The Microsoft Visual C++ development system offers an exciting new way to
create Windows-based applications that combines the power of
object-oriented programming with the efficiency of the C language. INSIDE
VISUAL C++ author David J. Kruglinski--a former member of the Visual C++
team--shows readers how to exploit this new programming paradigm to get
the most from the richly integrated tools that constitute C++. By
utilizing the Visual C++ application framework (based on the Microsoft
Foundation Class Library version 2.0), programmers can concentrate on the
process of creating robust, professional applications.

Using ample source code examples, Kruglinski explores the class library,
App Studio, and the nifty AppWizard and ClassWizard in action. Readers get
a healthy dose of application framework theory along with tips for
exploiting hidden 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 DIBs (device-independent bitmaps), ODBC (the new Microsoft
Open Database Connectivity standard), OLE (Object Linking and Embedding),
and DLLs (Dynamic Link Libraries). The accompanying disk contains all the
source code files necessary to create the sample applications in the book.
In short, INSIDE VISUAL C++ is a natural follow-up book to Charles
Petzold's classic Programming Windows.

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

David Kruglinski considers himself a programmer who writes rather than a
writer who programs. addition to writing four books on subjects ranging
from microcomputer database management systems to PC communication, he
started a successful software tools company. He is also a consultant and
teaches training classes on Microsoft Visual C++ around the world.

Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1 and Microsoft Visual C++
Professional or Standard Edition are required (Professional Edition
recommended). The book includes one 1.44MB 3.5-inch disk and ordering
information for 1.2-MB 5.25-inch disks.
