Product Description

Product Description

This book provides an in-depth introduction to writing 32-bit Windows applications using C++ and the Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) library. The text builds from the ground up, first describing the Windows architecture and showing how MFC works with that architecture; next covering the document/view framework that simplifies the creation of industrial-strength programs; and finally illustrating advanced concepts like the usage of dynamic link libraries (DLL), creating Internet clients, and building form-based applications. MFC Programming answers the hard questions by diving below the surface presented in the Reference Manual.



From the Back Cover

MFC Programming provides an in-depth introduction to writing 32-bit Windows applications using C++ and the Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) library. The text builds from the ground up, first describing the Windows architecture and showing how MFC works with that architecture; next covering the document/view framework that simplifies the creation of industrial-strength programs; and finally illustrating advanced concepts like the usage of dynamic link libraries (DLL), creating Internet clients, and building form-based applications.

MFC Programming answers the hard questions by diving below the surface presented in the Reference Manual. For example, all types of controls are discussed, including the common controls, owner-draw controls using message reflection, and tool tips within a dialog. All of the common dialogs are described along with the the various methods of customization. Serialization is covered in depth, including serializing collections, reading and writing custom file formats, and using versionable schemas. Printing and previewing are described in detail, including printing of forms, scaling output to fit on a page, printing of headers and footers, and customization of the Page Setup dialog. Debugging strategies are explored, along with fixes to a few bugs encountered in MFC along the way.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent first MFC book!, 17 Feb 1999
By A Customer
As a 4th year CS BSc student I might claim to be the owner of the greatest number of MFC books. Most are like the curate's egg - good in parts. It is with regret that I came upon Feuer's book so late in the buying sequence. Had I discovered it earlier my bank account would now be better and that of Amazon somewhat less!

My MFC library ranges from the 'Do it in 24 hours' variety (often laughable - but even they often have something to offer) through to MS professional tomes which seem like those job offers where you need not only the ability but a few years experience as well. Another excellent book is Kruglinski but this only proves it's worth once you have nearly got the whole idea well understood. Feuer - much better as a starter - assumes little except a good C++ base and then takes one forward step by step.

I very strongly recommend Feuer for anybody with a good C++ basis wanting to move to VC++ and MFC. This is the one to start with if you want to protect your cash. Kruglinski should come after and then you're ready for the MS serious stuff! Happy coding!

5.0 out of 5 stars Does an exceptional job of explaining the "guts" of MFC, 6 April 1998
By A Customer
This is an outstanding book. If you want to understand what MFC is, how it works and how to get it to work then buy this book. This is a nice complement to a book like "Inside Visual C++". Whereas that book does a great job with the tutorials, this book explains the fundamentals of MFC programming beautifully. MFC Programming has 3 parts. The first explains many of the important MFC classes (mainly wrapper classes) and how they work with Win32. The second part builds on the first to explain the framework aspects of MFC. The third part has 4 complete applications. In the first 2 parts, each chapter generally has an example that is used to demonstrate the points raised in the chapter. There aren't any full listings - just snippets of relevant code. (The executables and .cpp and .h files etc are on the CD-ROM.) This makes it easy to see the relevant points without getting totally lost. Another nice feature that this book has is very good diagrams that explain class relationships, Win32 connections etc. A well written book is one that explains difficult things effortlessly. This is a well written book! (One caveat: The book does not explain the MSFT Visual C++ IDE - there are no IDE "screen shots". Though this book is really meant for intermediate to advanced programmers, after a small MSFT Visual C++ learning curve (check out 1 or 2 of the MSFT tutorials to get up to speed with the IDE), you will be able to understand the concepts in this book well.)

3.0 out of 5 stars This book is just OK., 29 Jan 1998
By A Customer
This book provides a fair introduction to programming with MFC. The text is easy to understand and covers a wide range of topics in a practical way without too much fluff. However, at just over 420 pages this book is comparatively brief with respect to other MFC books which cover the same topics and, subsequently, the material at times suffers from a lack of depth. It's easy for a beginner to lose the "big picture" since the author presents a lot of MFC functions and classes without really explaining where they come from. This would be a good reference for the more experienced programmer, but I wouldn't recommend this book for beginners.

If you have done more than the minimum MFC programming then this book is unlikely to teach you anything that you will not have discovered for yourself. Read more
