Two new texts are now available for programmers interested in delving into the world of Windows. Windows Programmer's Guide to DLLs and Memory Management Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs) provide Windows programmers with many possibilities; however, utilizing DLLs in Windows application development can be complicated. DLLs provide a variety of avenues to more efficiently manage memory with smaller, more reliable files, easier revision paths, and a tremendous savings of code space memory. Windows Programmer's Guide to DLLs and Memory Management presents all the inside information not available in any other source about DLL design, memory management, custom controls, and messaging. This book gives Windows programmers the help they need to use DLLs as efficiently as possible. With Windows Programmer's Guide to DLLs and Memory Management, users discover how to develop sophisticated Windows applications and use powerful, yet compact, DLLs. The book covers all aspects of memory utilization, including memory locking, object cleanup, memory calls, and memory models. Programmer's tips, workarounds, and words of caution help users avoid the traps and more troublesome areas of Windows development. Users' newfound insights into debugging and using source files instantly increases their output, and the in-depth appendixes discuss improvements to the design of each control and library. Plus, the free companion disk includes complete source code for all examples in the book and a special version of Colonel. Windows Programmer's Guide to the ObjectWindows Library This complete book/disk set reveals the mysteries behind the ObjectWindows library and provides programmers with a clear, no-nonsense resource to the creation of classes, controls, and Windows. Windows Programmer's Guide to the ObjectWindows Library advances C programmers' skills with Windows and object-oriented techniques. With this powerful resource at hand, users master these skills and techniques to become intuitive programmers. They learn to fine-tune the actions of their Windows applications by using static text, edit box, and push and radio button controls. The basic structures and procedures of the ObjectWindows Library are explored through concise, easy-to-follow steps. Detailed information gives programmers a firm grasp on the creation and execution of various dialog boxes, the use of a dialog box as an application window, and the transfer of data. Examples show users how to handle multiple-section list boxes, synchronize scrolling, and make a combo box work like a history control. Plus, a free companion disk supplies sample code for use with Borland C++ 3.0 or 3.1 to actually create the programs discussed in the book.
