Beginning Mfc Programming

The MFC is a collection of C++ classes that programmers can reuse to create the main body of their code that all Windows applications have in common. This is the perfect tutorial to Windows programming with MFC and develops a complete and realistic example application in MFC.

Programmers are in a dilemma--they must learn COM to stay abreast of the developments in Windows, but it's hard to understand and use them. This book is dedicated to teaching MFC programmers what COM is and how to use it. It follows the proven learn-by-doing format, and in the course of the book the reader develops a complete application from both OLE servers and components.

A clear, comprehensive, well-paced description of all MFC essentials with numerous, ready-to-run examples, tips, and suggestions for those programmers transitioning from API for Windows programming. Includes in-depth boxes covering specific MFC programming topics and margin notes that provide concise information of critical terms without interrupting the text flow.

Microsoft Foundational Class (MFC) is becoming a hot new standard for programmers. This book authoritatively lays the foundation for developers using MFC. Just as Programming Windows has become a classic for all Windows programmers using C and SDK, this book will become a must-have for Windows programmers using C++ with MFC libraries.

1662J-5 Not just a "run-the-wizard, push-the-buttons" guide -- real MFC mastery! Starts from ground zero: no object-oriented expertise required! An important but simple example illustrations how MFC invokes your virtual functions. Introduces MFC Document/View Architecture, program structure, and much more. Includes more than 90 short programs illustrating collection classes, mouse and keyboard techniques, common controls, menus, and more. Covers bitmap graphics and database access. Simply the most effective, thorough introduction to MFC you can find! If you really want to master MFC, there are no shortcuts, but there is one great book: Introduction to MFC Programming with Visual C++. Unlike many MFC books, this one doesn't start with Microsoft's AppWizard. Rather, it begins by giving you an in-depth grounding in the structure of MFC programs: an understanding that will serve you well in every program you write. Author Richard Jones also introduces the fundamentals of object-oriented programming with MFC and Visual C++, the essential concepts underlying MFC, the Document/View architecture, and much more. Once you understand how MFC really works, Jones helps you accomplish more than you ever imagined. You'll not only master MFC's common interface controls, but also database access, and much more. Introduction to MFC Programming with Visual C++ contains dozens of diagrams and programs-from to-the-point snippets to sizable programs designed to demonstrate powerful software engineering techniques. About the CD-ROM This title originally included a CDROM that contained all of the sample programs. This CDROM is no longer available, nor are the sample programs.
