Inside Visual C++
Second Edition, Version 1.5

#1 Guide to Microsoft Visual C++ from Microsoft Press Now Covers OLE
Automation, ODBC, and MFC Library Version 2.5

"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

INSIDE VISUAL C++ -- the bestselling guide from Microsoft Press--is now
completely updated in its second edition to cover Microsoft Visual C++
version 1.5. This new edition includes detailed coverage of OLE
automation, ODBC (Open Database Connectivity), and the Microsoft
Foundation Class (MFC) Library version 2.5.

In this edition, 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++ 1.5 development system. Kruglinski introduces
exciting new ways to create Windows-based applications using the rich set
of integrated tools included in Visual C++. By utilizing the Visual C++
application framework based on the MFC library version 2.5, 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 OLE and ODBC Challenges

Using ample source code examples, Kruglinski allows us 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 OLE automation, DIBs (device-independent bitmaps), ODBC
(the Microsoft Open Database Connectivity standard), and DLLs (Dynamic
Link Libraries). In short, INSIDE VISUAL C++, Second Edition, 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 system. A comprehensive table of contents and a
thorough, fully cross-referenced index help readers quickly locate
information about any topic in the book.
