PART 1 Introduction to the Microsoft Foundation Class Library

This part contains both overview and reference material for the Microsoft Foundation Class Library. Chapters 1 and 2 categorize and summarize the Windows and general-purpose classes. They are useful both as an introduction and as a reference guide for “finding the right class.”

Chapter 3 is an alphabetic summary of all Microsoft Foundation Class Library global functions and macros. Chapter 4 lists, in more detail, those global functions and macros pertaining to memory diagnostics. Note that the class reference in Part 2 covers class-specific diagnostic features. Chapter 5 lists global functions and macros used for exception processing.

Chapter 6 is a cross-reference of Windows message-map parameters and corresponding CWnd member functions.

Chapter 7 lists Windows structures and enumerated values for the Clipboard
and mouse.
