SUMMARY

The online documentation which is included with Visual C++ for Windows does not include a guide to the MFC, ODBC, and OLE 2.0 tutorials. This article explains how to find the tutorials and what topics they cover.


MORE INFORMATION

Five tutorials are included with this product. They are "Scribble", "Scribble Step 7", "Contain", "AutoClik", and "Enroll".

  1. Scribble introduces the Visual C++ environment and several of the Microsoft Foundation Classes to the beginning user. It is located in the "Class Library User's Guide", chapters 2-10. Since this tutorial is meant to introduce several new concepts to the user, it is meant to be completed first. If the user has already completed this tutorial from Visual C++ 1.0, or has prior knowledge of MFC and programming in the Windows environment, then this tutorial is optional.


    2. The following tutorials can be completed in any order since they introduce separate topics which do not depend on the user's knowledge of the other tutorials' topics.

  2. Scribble Step 7 is an extension of the Scribble Tutorial and demonstrates how to convert a complete MFC application to an OLE server. It is located in the "OLE 2 Classes" manual, Part 1, chapter 5.


  3. Contain is implemented in two steps and demonstrates how to write a container application using the Application and Class Wizards and the MFC OLE2 classes. It is located in the "OLE 2 Classes" manual, Part 1, chapters 2-4.


  4. AutoClik is implemented in three steps and demonstrates how to write an automated server application using the Application and Class Wizards and the MFC OLE2 classes. It is located in the "OLE 2 Classes" manual, Part 1, chapters 6-9.


  5. Enroll is implemented in three steps and demonstrates how to write a database application using the MFC database classes, the Class and Application Wizards, and the Application Studio. It is located in the "Database Classes" manual, Part 1, chapters 2-5.
