Book Description

Publication Date: 1998 | Series: Using ... (Que)

Using Visual C++ takes a straight forward, no-nonsense approach to teaching C++. The book is broken into a number of sections. The first part creates a foundation for the reader. The use of Developer Studio as well as Wizards, editors, and debuggers is covered. The book progress into the Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC). MFC is the libraries of pre-build classes that Microsoft provides to make Visual C++ programming much easier. By understanding how to use the classes within MFC, the reader will be able to create nearly any type of program. Unlike many books, Using Visual C++ does not try to be a compendium of all the questions any person may ever have, rather, the book focuses on teaching the reader to use Visual C++ and on providing quick and easy access to answers and information on Visual C++ basics.

Product Description

From Amazon

Using Visual C++ 6 provides a thorough tour of the essential features of Visual C++ 6 with plenty of hands-on programming examples. It's a good guide for any beginning or intermediate C++ programmer who wants to get a handle on Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) and the new Visual C++.

The order of material in Using Visual C++ 6 stresses getting the most out of the wizards and other Visual C++ tools that enhance programmer productivity. Early on, there's some good material on getting familiar with the AppWizard, the basic Project Workspace, and the Resource Editor.

After some discussion of mouse message processing, Using Visual C++ 6 continues with the basics of using ActiveX controls--always a strength of Visual C++. The authors round out their tour of the basics with such topics as working with bitmaps and image lists, the basics of MFC document/view architecture, menus, toolbars (including those fancy new Internet Explorer 4 toolbars called rebars), and Graphical Device Interface (GDI) graphics programming.

Later chapters contain additional background material on more advanced topics. Welcome tips on scrolling and sizing windows will help you create more professional-looking applications. The authors show you how to tap the power of MFC with an exploration of several view classes that simplify using List and Tree controls inside your programs. The text also covers multiple-document interface (MDI) applications and printing.

Throughout the text there are many step-by-step exercises, along with short code excerpts. Since programming with Visual C++ 6--especially in this new version--favors a more rapid application-development programming approach than actually typing code, this book's methods will be absolutely on target for beginning and intermediate C++ programmers. --Richard Dragan

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for the beginning C++ programmer Jan 24 2002

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

I read this book after working with VC++ for a year. This is a great way to be introduced to VC++. The book starts off with the really basic, Start -> Run, etc. , and progresses into areas complex enough for an experienced developer. Highly recommended for those starting off on the road to VC++ or for those who have been there for a while.

This book is the best one I have ever seen about using visual c++ 6.0. I have to mention that it is extremely excellent for beginner, but not good for experienced programmers. Hope the author can add more items such as DLL, etc. and publish second edition. Excellent book !

5.0 out of 5 stars this book rocks! April 15 2001

By B. Olalekan

Format:Paperback

I am new to C++, much less VC++, although I have been using Visual Basic for over 2 years. Since I have to take both Java and C++ as part of the requirements for a Masters program, I decided to learn on my own beforehand. I didn't want to start with pure C++ so I picked up this book at a local library, and so far, I have been very impressed with it. The examples are simple enough for easy digestion, and well graduated enough for those who want a little challenge. This is a book one can read and practice with over and over again. I have since decided to obtain a copy for my personal library. This is probably the best introductory book on MS Visual C++. My next stop is Ivor Horton's "Beginning Visual C++", before winding up with Tony Gardis' "Starting out with C++, Alternate Edition". The only suggestion I have for the author is that he should have included a case study which would bring all the concepts taught in the book together. Even then, this is still a very good book.
