Book about advanced MFC

I'm looking for a book about advanced MFC programming. Are there any good books about this and can anyone make any recommendations?

/Jesper Nielsen

Professional MFC Programming, Wrox Press, Mike B.
MFC Internals (more for MFC users that are interested in special / hidden featrures), I think Addison & Wesley

Hi.

This April, Jeff Porsise published second edition "Programming
Windows 98 with MFC", Microsoft Press.

This time, he added ActiveX control stufff.
I just check the content of this book at the bookstore.
I want this book.

Totally, if you write the advanced VC program, Codeguru sample code
is very useful. In fact, these help me so much in my VC project.
For example, print listview control and so on.

HTH.

This "Professional MFC Programming, Wrox Press" has already been mentioned but I just wanted to add my 2 cents - best book ever.

I have just finished reading this book and I have to say it's great!!! It teaches you everything from the basics like dialogs, controls, etc... (which filled in all the holes in what I thought I knew), to advanced stuff such as bitmap handling, multi threading, OLE, and COM/ActiveX. The COM and ActiveX details are not covered in full (it only covers them in the context of MFC), but they are such complex subjects that there are entire books deticated to them. I highly recomend this book not only because it is well written and complete, but because it is so new!!! Which means unlike other books it covers both the modern versions of MFC (v6) and Windows (98/2000).

Any particular aspect of advanced programming? You can get lots of specialized books. E.g. Inside COM, Inside ODBC, etc.

Some of my favorites?

- Visual C++ Unleashed by Viktor Toth. The publisher (SAMS) rates this one between caual and accomplished. Goes into a variety of topics a little deeper than books for new users.

3 good books in a question-answer format like this site:
- The MFC Answer Book by Eugene Kain. Addison Wesely. Great book. A must.
- Visual C++ 4 How-to by Scott Stanfield. Waite Group Press. The edition for MFC 6 seems to have been cancelled by the publisher, but the MFC 4 version is well worth hunting down in a used book store.
- MFC Black Book by Al Williams Coriolus Group Books.

And another vote for
- MFC Internals by George Shepherd and Scott Wingo. Addison Wesley. Definitely advanced. Nothing but explanations of MFC source code. A great help if that is what you need to know about.
