5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for those who have some experience with MFC, 19 Jun 1999
By A Customer
The book has one big strong point for anyone wanting to convert VBXs to OCXs. It has an entire chapter on this topic and was useful for me in converting my old controls to the new stuff. The book does a good job explaining controls using MFC and is easy to read if you have experience writing controls already.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for non beginners., 6 April 1999
By A Customer
I'm wasn't a beginner when I started this book. I had already studied Inside COM by Dale Rogerson and Inside Distributed COM, so I was able to appreciate the depth that this book goes into. I suggest that anyone else planning to buy this book start with those other books to gain a firm background in COM.

1.0 out of 5 stars Makes Activex look like a 'house of cards', 8 Feb 1999
By A Customer
After reading the cover endorsement by Microsft VP Victor Stone, my excitement soon dimmed when I studied Adam's writings. No clear picture of a recognizable architecture emerged.

The book presents examples in C++ source code complete with at least two instances of potential memory leaks, while at the same time asserting this code's thread-safety! According to the bibliography Adam now works primarily with Java: at least no more memory leaks there.

After reading this book I believe I now may have a much better understanding of why Microsoft may have internal problems with their ActiveX technology groups and possibly why so many of Microsoft's own COM-based applications tend to blow up so dramatically and so frequently.
