    Please can someone recommend a good book about Windows programming for people who know the C++ language? For the various functions and messages my main paper source, rather than online, currently is a book published in 1992 and a book published in 1993 in Windows 3.1 times. But many things have changed since.

        Programming Windows from Charles Petzold (http://www.charlespetzold.com/books.html[^]) has always been the definitive work on the subject.

          Hi, The book [Beginning Visual C++ 2012] Ivor Horton's Beginning Visual C++ 2012: •Introduces you to the current version of the C++ language (C++ 11), as it is implemented in Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2012 •Provides a comprehensive tutorial on using the complete Visual C++ programming language •Explains the C++ Standard Template Library and how to apply it to make your programming tasks easier •Shows you the principal elements of developing Windows desktop applications in C++ using the Microsoft Foundation Classes •Guides you through the development of a substantial Windows® 7 desktop application that you can also run under Windows® 8 •Illustrates how to develop Windows 8 Apps with Visual C++ using a working game example Not completely sure this book is what you are looking for but at least it provides information on STL and MFC and it's not expensive.

          With friendly greetings,:) Eric Goedhart
