Description
This is the first complete guide to using the Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) with the new Standard C++ and Standard Template Libraries (STL) -- a perfect match for C++ programmers who want to dramatically improve their productivity. The book begins with a detailed review of the foundations and rationale for the Standard C++ Libraries, the evolution of the Standard Template Library, Microsoft's implementation of the STL, and the fundamentals of Windows programming with them. Once this foundation is in place, the book introduces each key MFC programming technique, showing how to build object-oriented Windows applications effectively, and using Microsoft's wizards wherever they aid understanding. The book includes in-depth introductions to both OLE and ATL. All twenty-three chapters emphasize integrating the Standard C++ Library, and wherever applicable, the STL.
