Product Description

Product Description

Most MFC introductory guides show you how to generate code with Microsoft's AppWizard and then modify it -- but give you little understanding of how to program in MFC. This book is different: it starts with the MFC fundamentals you need to really know what you're doing -- and also takes you much further than most competitive books. By the time you're introduced to the AppWizard, you'll have the knowledge to take full advantage of it! Start by understanding the fundamentals of object-oriented programming, the essential concepts underlying MFC, the structure of MFC programs, and the Document/View architecture. Master not only MFC's common interface controls, but also more advanced concepts, including building ActiveX controls and database access. Introduction to MFC Programming contains dozens of diagrams and programs -- from snippets to sizable programs designed to demonstrate key software engineering and database access techniques.



From the Back Cover


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.

5.0 out of 5 stars makes MFC understandable, 4 May 2001
By IAN DUNCAN (PALMANOVA , CALVIA, MALLORCA ,BALEARES Spain) - See all my reviews
having tried to learn MFC from other books with no success I bought this book an introduction to MFC and it made it much easier to understand. I have now gone back to the original books that I bought and I can now follow what is going on. this book lays it out so that you can visualize what is going on and in windows there is plenty going on .this has to be the first book you read if you are going to attempt to learn window programming

4.0 out of 5 stars Starter's manual, 4 April 2005
By A Customer
After I only recently started C++ programming, I bought this book to help me get on with Windows programming.
It certainly has provided me with a great learning tool which gradually goes on to explore interesting and valuable topics at adequate pace. Instead of following horrid on campus lectures this book has aided me chiefly in "mastering" basic Windows programming.

Although the structure and layout is cumbersome in comparison with what one would normally expect from this type of reading material and the explanations aren't always concise, I heartily recommend it to anyone starting out with Windows Programming.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic introduction to MFC with VC++, 6 Jan 2004
By Mr J Scrase (Hitchin, Herts United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This book is a fantastic introduction to MFC with VC++ for anyone with sound C++ and some knowledge of Win32 but even these topics are revised in the initial chapters including one of the best explanations of virtual functions that I have come across. There are plenty of useful coded examples with screenshots to show output that the author steps through almost line by line in some instances. Written in a friendly, unassuming style, this book would seem to cover everything a programmer wanting to develop a full understanding of MFC could want. The final chapter is devoted to working with external databases and shows how to build a application. The book includes a CD containing the coded examples.
