Have searched, different ? however

Ok our C guy has left the company..........so you guessed it l am stuck with the stuff....and to make matters worse l have no knowledge of C++, (have some C from years ago)

So anyway..........................

I need to get a version of C or C++ which will allow me to create a container in Open Insight, (which is a 16bit GUI environment) to call 32bit ActiveX controls:eek:

So which would be best

and just to upset people

What's a good learning book on C/C++ (Am doing a couple of courses in the next few months)

Thanks in Advance.

"Beginning Visual C++ 6" by Ivor Horton (Wrox Press) is a good book for learning C++. A lot of people rate the Sam's books too.

No idea about your problem though, good luck with that. Think you're gonna need it ;)

Another good book is Teach yourself C++ In 21 days. Also, if you search the C++ forums, you'll find many other recommended books and links for learning C++.

Thanks Meg, only really added the last bit as a joke. Was more interested in anyones thoughts as to a version of C++ which would allow me to create a container in a 16bit GUI to support 32bit activeX controls. Am currently scratching my head over this one, but have seen it done.

Ok, well, even if it was just a joke, i still have to recomend C++ How to Program, by deitel and deitel!

Sorry Dude, someone making a point in Forum Feedback about using the site search capabilities. Asked the first question, and then added the second as a joke. Still will add your book to the growing list of ones to look at.

Thanks.

Oh, hehe, are you talking about the desperate need of a FAQ? I agree, one would be helpful! :D :cool:

Thanks Dude but the books thing was a joke! Actually more interested in what people think about the problem at hand. Writing a container to allow access to 32bit controls in a 16bit GUI.

16-bit code communicates with 32-bit code through a thunk. Look in the Platform SDK for more details, because I have no idea...I've always been on 32-bit (started using C on RISC OS which is 32-bit all the way unlike some OS's I could mention :rolleyes:; then moved straight to Windows & Visual C++)
May 3rd, 2001, 06:05 PM

Whats a "Platform SDK"?.

Excuse me while I bash my head repeatedly on the table :rolleyes:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp

Select Platform SDK :rolleyes: It's the best reference for Windows programming ever.

Well excuse me Parksie:mad: Clearly if we are taking too much of your valuable time then you shouldn't answer the thread.

Thanks for the link, will have a good look through it.

Clearly no one else has had to do this sort of thing, but thanks of the answer.

:rolleyes: Whatever :rolleyes:

It's just that the Platform SDK has been mentioned in so many threads all around the forums...
