This book meets the needs of those who aspire to explore the world of Visual C++ (VC++). The book opens with an introduction to the concept of Object Oriented Programming in the C++ environment. The first few chapters focus entirely on the C++ programming language and the features that distinguish it from the C language. Subsequent chapters cover the concepts that form an integral part of VC++ such as documents, forms, views, threads and templates. The book also illustrates the programming behind the most common items such as the dialog box, toolbar and status bar. The last section concentrates on topics like database operations using ODBC, the Class Wizard and exception handling. |
