New Book Lets Programmers Create Reusable User Interfaces for AnyGraphical
Environment Using C++

Complete source code for the C++ GUI classes and applications is included
on disk

Perfect for C++ programmers with little or no GUI development experience,
Portable User Interface Programming in C++, 2nd Edition contains complete,
reusable C++ classes for creating windows, dialog boxes, and graphical
display objects that are portable across all the major windowing
environments.

Aimed at software developers producing custom in-house applications and
commercial software developers who want to maximize their development
efforts by writing reusable code, this book provides a concise reference
to the imaging and event-handling models used by Microsoft Windows,
Macintosh, UNIX Windows, OS/2, and the popular 32-bit Windows API, WIN
32s.

Author Mark Watson abstracts a common framework for handling user events,
environmental events, and timer events and develops several utility
classes for machine-independent file I/O, browsing graphical tree
displays, curve plotting for scientific and business applications, smart
data objects that manage their own memory allocation and persistence, a
neural network pattern matcher, and a text indexing class for rapid text
retrieval.

Four complete example applications demonstrate the methodology explained in
the book, including programs for handwriting recognition, text browsing,
information browsing, and 3-D chess.
