Good Book on MFC?

Steven M Hunt

I have a beginner's book on MFC but I have advanced beyond it. Is there a good book for intermediate MFC programmers that cover topics like MDI Doc/View? -- Steve

I'm told the Jeff Prosise book is good, I found SAMS 'Unleashed' book to be good ( I think it was called 'Programming MFC with Visual C++' ). Otherwise, 'MFC internals' is good, if dated. In fact, with MFC 7, all those books are probably dated.

OK, maybe not as easily, but it's certainly doable. - Jamie Nordmeyer - 15-Nov-2002

As others have pointed out, the Prosise book is nice. /ravi Let's put "civil" back in "civilization" http://www.ravib.com ravib@ravib.com

I have read Prosise as my beginner's book. After that, I rely now mainly on MSDN.

I'll have to also recommend Jeff Prosise's excellent book, but I've also found that Mike Blaszcak's Professional MFC is pretty good for explaining MFC further in-depth. For something even more detailed I've heard that MFC Internals is supposed to be excellent. -- Paul "If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation." - David Brent, from "The Office" MS Messenger: paul@oobaloo.co.uk Sonork: 100.22446
