About this title

Synopsis:

The book deals with troublesome, frequently encountered, high-profile tasks chosen with input from Microsoft ""RM"" support engineers and the user ed/development team at Microsoft. The recommended coding techniques included have been reviewed by key MFC developers.

The topics are sorted into a number of sections -- for example, ""Dialog Boxes"", ""Controls"", and ""MFC Database Classes"". Each section begins with a general descriptive article and then treats a set of common and important developmental challenges. The text is supplemented by a selection of pertinent Knowledge Base articles on disc in a convenient HTML format.

From the Back Cover:

ActiveX controls are an important ingredient in Microsoft's emerging ""object model"" approach to the Internet, applications, development tools, and operating systems. Written by a former data management consultant and current program manager at Microsoft in the Visual Languages group, ActiveX Controls Inside Out is an in-depth guide for C++ and Microsoft Visual Basic programmers who want to build powerful custom controls and the ""componentware"" using Microsoft's new tools and revolutionary COM (Component Object Model) technology. A comprehensive update to the successful first edition, OLE Controls Inside Out, this book contains the latest on MFC, changes to OLE, and Visual Basic and Microsoft Internet Explorer support for hosting ActiveX controls. It is an indispensable resource for all those programming for the Windows operating system and the Internet. ActiveX Cotrols Inside Out topics include philosophy of the development process; background of ActiveX and OLE; COM extensions for controls; Microsoft tools for creating ActiveX controls; ActiveX Controls and the Internet; ActiveX control licensing; converting a VBX and subclassing Windows controls; 16-bit-to-32-bit and cross-platfrom issues; Microsoft guidelines for ActiveX Controls and control containers; Visual C++, MFC, and the ActiveX Template Library (ATL).
