Borland's release (version 4.0) of its C++ compiler features new tools for the programmer creating Windows applications. Windows is an extremely complicated program, and the special techniques used for writing Windows programs are both complex and novel. With particular focus on programming tips and techniques that professionals can use to speed up the writing of code, this book is a guide for those who want to use Borland C++ to write programs that will run within the Windows operating environment. Following the "INSIDER" guide format, special emphasis is given to the new features of OWL (the Object Windows Library), a set of tools that help the programmer to build Windows class libraries. Also included is extensive coverage of debugging, file-management and interface design, as well as implications of the new 32-bit standard on programming techniques and program design.
Unlike earlier releases of Pascal, Turbo Pascal 7 and Borland Pascal with Objects Version 7 make use of object-oriented programming techniques, particularly through a set of programming tools called OWL (Object Windows Library). This feature of Pascal makes it a very powerful Windows development tool, but also makes it difficult for traditional Pascal programmers, who need to develop a whole new way of thinking about and working with the language This is a guide for those who want to use Turbo Pascal and Borland Pascal with Objects to write Windows applications Special emphasis is placed on creating reusable multi-purpose modules of code called class libraries. Items such as windows, buttons and other graphical devices can be stored for easy reuse
