Description: The Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) simplify Windows applications development and boost programming power by allowing you to implement features of an application as an MFC extension. Extending the MFC Library teaches techniques for extracting reusable objects from your applications and provides project code for sample extensions ready to run on CD. If you're an MFC programmer who hasn't yet worked with extensions, this book shows you how to effectively create and package your reusable components as extensions. If you're not an MFC programmer but have basic Windows and C programming knowledge, this book provides a focused and concise entree into MFC programming. Chapters 1 through 4 present an overview of MFC and a quick course in C++ and MFC extensibility techniques. Chapters 5 through 13 present case studies of MFC extensions that tap into the power of MFC to provide you with practical reusable features. These projects show you how to extend MFC with progress bars, page layout controls, localization services, and object-oriented tree views. Included is an Extension Class Reference "manual" that describes the book's extension classes in quick reference format - this template is also provided on CD as a Word 6 file. The CD contains the book's project code packaged as a class library, plus InstallShield Express Lite, a visual environment for creating installations for Windows applications.
