Knowing how and when to work in C++ is the key to building
better, more efficient Windows applications. This book teaches you
how to use C++ to enhance your Visual Basic applicationswithout
rewriting them from the ground up. In this book, you will learn to
write DLLs that use the performance and capabilities of C++, which
provide access to APIs not easily supported by VB. Using C++ and
the ATL (Active Template Library), you can even write ActiveX
components that dont require a huge runtime library.
Writing from the perspective of an advanced VB programmerand
using his own learning process as the frameworkauthor Jonathan
Morrison teaches you how to harness the development power of C++.
Beginning with an overview of the ways in which C++ complements VB,
he moves on to cover the VC++ development environment that most VB
programmers will turn to first (Visual Studio), exploring a wealth
of topics including the differences between VB and C++ compilers,
the C preprocessor, and the process of memory management in
C++.
In the second half of the book, Morrison discusses the basics of
the C++ language, including data and variables, operators, loops,
and control statements. He then covers pointers, classes, and
templates. The book also contains comprehensive coverage of VB and
C++ DLLs, how to use C++ DLLs with VB programs, the ATL, and COM
objects. What you'll learn Who this book is for
No prior knowledge of C or C++ is assumed, but readers should
have a working knowldege of VB.
