Synopsis

Sooner or later, most Windows developers will have to become familiar with ActiveX/COM. This book is for the Sooner group. Donis Marshall is writing for developers who have a moderate amount of C++ experience and a basic knowledge of MFC but who are new to ActiveX concepts and techniques. In it they will find a clear and thorough introduction to ActiveX/OLE programming using Microsoft Foundation Classes. The book explains, step by step, how to assemble robust components, containers, and controls. Developers will learn the core concepts of COM and OLE and focus on applications that incorporate object linking ( with particular emphasis on inter-application linking. In the past, to become a certified programmer in ActiveX/OLE required wading through a patchwork of fragmentary documentation. The only official reference document was Inside OLE, a book that, as author Marshall testifies "would be a daunting challenge for most developers." But no longer. ActiveX/OLE Programming is a clear and comprehensive guide for Windows programmers. Although the book is oriented to MFC, readers who complete its twelve chapters will be able to develop ActiveX/OLE applications with or without MFC.
