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

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!

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.

What????????????????

**parksie** · May 3rd, 2001, 05:49 PM

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

; then moved straight to Windows & Visual C++)

Jethro · May 3rd, 2001, 06:05 PM

Whats a "Platform SDK"?.

**parksie** · May 3rd, 2001, 06:06 PM

Excuse me while I bash my head repeatedly on the table

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

Select Platform SDK

It's the best reference for Windows programming ever.

**sail3005** · May 3rd, 2001, 06:58 PM

heheh, parksie, you must have posted that link 14 times! i know you did for me once!

**parksie** · May 3rd, 2001, 07:14 PM

Yet another reason why we need a FAQ

And I'm starting this weekend

Well excuse me Parksie

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.

*Jethro gives Parksie a good clip around the ears*

**parksie** · May 3rd, 2001, 07:46 PM

Whatever

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

*parksie clips Jethro back*
