Learning to write and reuse software components yields enormous gains inprogrammer productivity and application performance and reliability. Pluggingin tested code for proven components saves time across all phases ordevelopment and testing. Sharing components provides consistent behavior acrossapplications, and fixing a bug in component code repairs all applications thatuse it. Steal This Code! is an ultra-functional handbook of C and C++/MFCtechniques for creating reusable code components, providing Windows(R) 95 andWindows NT programmers with the tools they need to develop efficient reusablecode modules and libraries. This book walks readers through the steps involvedin creating Win32, MFC, and OLE Control components, then applies thesetechniques through numerous practical examples. You'll learn: * how to use subclassing, superclassing, and autoclassing to modify a classWindow procedure* methods for extending Windows 95 controls to work better with your ownprograms* techniques for creating your own DLL-bases controls that are virtuallyindistinguishable from standard Windows components* how to write MFC extension DLLs, how to use MFC to get a jumpstart on OLEControls, and more.
The disk includes a library of components developed by the author using thetechniques demonstrated in the book--a library that readers can plunder at willfor individual drop-in code modules. 0201409984B04062001
