Customer Reviews

MFC examples are helpful but........

This book is packed with a lot of examples of using controls, and lists the hierarchy of the MFC.But I was unable to open the project examples from the CD with VC++ 6 standard. It does cover a majority classes, however it lacks content dealing with code, so you will have to know C++ very well to use this text.The entire book is in eformat on the CD which is good, and some of the files could be used which makes the book good for all round reference.

It's OK

This book is a great introduction to MFC and ATL. I think it help programmers to understand MFC but it also makes you confused. E.g. in the first chapter Views and Docs are explained but in next chapters the Docs are Views aren't used as they were explained and sometimes they aren't even used at all. Simple functions such as scroll bars aren't explained but Controls (Progress Bars etc.) are much easier to use and they are explained in detail. The ATL and COM chapters are explained in details and the books gets its 4 stars for that.
