| Synopsis: |
Windows Programmer's Notebook is a quick, visual, hands-on tutorial for anyone who wants to master development for any current Windows platform: Windows 9x, NT/2000, or CE. The book is highly visual, using alternating pages of text and annotated code "snapshots" to give readers all the background they need, plus specific solutions they can use in their own projects. Start by reviewing Windows event-driven programming, the AppWizard, and the MFC application framework; next, create menus, dialog boxes, and windows; and master Windows' basic and common controls. Learn how to control printing through GDI functions; create database programs using MFC classes; and develop Internet programs using CGI, sockets, SMTP, ISAPI filters, and Microsoft's Web browser ActiveX control. The book includes a full chapter on Windows CE and Windows 2000 programming; practical solutions for messages, timers, and threads, and much more -- including reusable custom C++ classes to solve common programming tasks. |
