Book Description

August 1996
49227-2 Simply the best way to learn the art of Windows 95 programming with Borland's OWL C++ 5.0 libraries. With Programming with OWL for Windows 95, you won't just get more out of Borland's OWL C++ 5.0 libraries: you'll streamline all your Windows 95 applications development. This book makes Windows 95 programming a whole lot easier than it's ever been. You won't just learn how specific techniques work: you'll understand why they work. You'll develop a real feel for what's going on "under the hood" -invaluable Windows programming instincts that might otherwise take years to learn. Starting with the basics, expert Vic Broquard walks step-by- step through the construction of real Windows 95 applications. Learn how to work with Borland's OWL applications and 5.0 libraries to quickly create standard Windows program elements, from menus and dialog boxes to print preview windows and splash screens. Even if you've programmed with Windows 3.x, you'll appreciate this book's clear explanations of new Windows 95 features such as spin controls, property sheets, splitter windows and DIB sections. Broquard's specific porting tips and design rules will help you migrate your Windows 3.x applications to Windows 95 painlessly-and build new applications that work perfectly in both environments. Programming with OWL for Windows 95 includes robust, real-world sample programs, not just snippets. The accompanying CD-ROM sample programs are also utilized in the companion book, Programming with MFC for Windows 95. If you're familiar with one class library, it will be quite easy to convert to the other. No matter how much Windows programming experience you have, Programming with OWL for Windows 95 will help you develop Windows 95 applications more effectively. Whether Borland's OWL is your primary C++ class library, or you use it alongside Microsoft's MFC, you'll find this book invaluable.
