DESCRIPTION

Are you an OWL programmer who'd like to know more about the new, largely undocumented features of OWL 5.0? Here's a book that covers advanced ways to make the OWL library do those tricky things you thought weren't possible. You'll get a long, exhaustive look at the new features introduced by the OWL 5.0 code. You'll find detailed explanations of how to extend the OWL objects themselves in new directions. If you're an OWL developer who is beyond the "OWL for Dummies" level, this book will show you how to obtain all the potential your OWL applications have for power, elegance and flexibility. What's inside:

  • A comprehensive look at ClassLib and Winsys support libraries
  • How C++ and OWL mixin classes add application power
  • Making OWL context-sensitive help respond to your needs
  • The possibilities of multi-threaded programs
  • Undocumented OWL classes on error modes, user-interface painting and multimedia capabilities
  • How not to be confused by the OWL Doc/View architecture
  • Ideas and tricks for debugging OWL Applications
  • How to integrate OWL code with other languages and technologies
  • A CD-ROM containing source code and examples from both this book and its companion book, Core OWL 5.0.
  • WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY ABOUT THIS BOOK...

    "As an advanced OWL coder myself, I have found several sections that would have saved me days of heartaches--I also found some pieces of OWL/ClassLib that I never even knew existed."
    -Mark Rochotte, Senior Software Engineer, Achieve Communications

    "...there's nothing on the market like this book--the topics are vital to real development..."
    -Ron Reynolds, Senior Programmer/Analyst, Access Health, Inc.

    ABOUT THE AUTHOR...

    Ted Neward has worked with C++ since 1991 and has used OWL ever since the days of OWL 1.0. He actively supports the OWL development community on the Internet.
