Product Description

Windows developers: a thorough understanding of the Windows API will enable you to create applications that are elegant, efficient, and powerful. You will find comprehensive information on all aspects of Windows GUI programming, such as: *Windows Controls, including the common controls *GDI, including new features like transformations and geometric pens *Printing, including a reusable print engine *Common dialogs, including customization *Background processing, including synchronization In addition, the book covers such important advanced topics as creation of Dynamic Link Libraries, storage management, windows subclassing, the Multiple Document Interface (MDI), and threads and their synchronization. More than just an introductory book, Win32 Programming is a reference to many of the more obscure and sometimes incomprehensible advanced features of the user interface and graphics subsystems. It is useful not only for C programmers but also for C++/MFC programmers because the API forms the basis for most MFC methods.The book's extensive and comprehensive index means you will never again have to search through pages of examples to find the example of the API function you want to see. This book is designed both to teach basic Windows programming and to be a useful companion for years to come. 0201634929B04062001

4.0 out of 5 stars This is a highly detailed guide and reference to Win32, 10 Mar 1999

By A Customer

This book is amongst the more useful of the Windows programming texts. It serves as both a reference and a guide to Win32, covering the user interface in more depth than the underlying concepts (which I found slightly disappointing).

The book has particularly useful information on TreeView controls, which are poorly documented elsewhere. The section on Dialog boxes is also extremely valuable, saving a great deal of time debugging the more obscure messages.

I cannot understand how anyone can program Windows, especially direct to the Win32 API, without this reference.
