Reviews Amazon.com Getting the most out of your MFC applications is the goal of Eugène Kain's The MFC Answer Book. Though it does not cover newer Internet Explorer-style enhancements, this title offers some indispensable tips for writing more attractive Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) applications in Visual C++. The book begins with an excellent tour of the MFC document/view architecture. As the author notes, Visual C++ wizards let you generate simple, functional multiple-document interface (MDI) applications, but after that you're on your own. To remedy this situation, the author shares his expertise for building better MDI applications, including saving and reloading files effectively and how to manage more than one view. The same question-and-answer approach is used for such topics as views, dialog boxes, and property sheets. Standout tips here include how to size and control views, as well as how to change the color and font used for dialog controls. (The author also shows you how to create applications that run in full-screen mode, just like in Microsoft Word 97.) Toolbars, menus, and printing functions round out the tour. Throughout this text, there are plenty of short, clear programming examples that show exactly how to solve some of the most perplexing and common problems faced by the working MFC programmer. There's little doubt that The MFC Answer Book can save you hours of experimenting on your own, but it can also help you create significantly more responsive and appealing MFC programs. --Richard Dragan Book Description This book will save you days of frustration by providing answers to more than 130 tough, real-world programming questions, such as * How do I make my application remember the last active document and automatically reopen it?
