Product Description
OLE controls are an important ingredient in Microsoft(r)'s emerging "object model" approach to applications, development tools, and operating systems. Written by a former data management consultant and current program manager in the Microsoft Visual C++(r) development team, OLE CONTROLS INSIDE OUT, SECOND EDITION is an in-depth guide for C++ and VB programmers who want to build powerful custom controls and "componentware" using Microsoft's new tools and revolutionary COM (component object model) technology. A comprehensive update to the successful first edition, the book contains the latest on MFC, OLE modifications, and Visual Basic(r) support for OCX creation, an indispensable resource for all those programming for Windows(r) and the Internet.

 80% fluff for Visual C++ programmers August 10, 2000
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
Book deals with one single ActiveX control, with no UI, and a simplistic purpose. Yet the author spends 80% of the book explaining the *business logic* (not the ActiveX-specific issues) of this silly example. (and the code listings of every iteration) Good beginning, good chapter on VBX to OCX (if you need that), but overall dissapointing. Hardly "inside-out" coverage to a proficient VC++ developer.
 Complete reference for in-process ActiveX controls w/ MFC May 23, 2000

If you are looking to develop in-process ActiveX controls, this book will make a very good reference. Although the examples could be more mainstream, the technology detailed makes it a read worth your while. After all, it is as close to the source as you can get & you get this without worrying about marshalling, local or remote. The focus is on free marshaling, a.k.a. non-existant, as it should be.
Actually, it's two and half November 6, 1999

the stars are given to the style that explains things from the ground. However, it's out of date somehow for COM programming using MFC. I'd like to recommend Beginning MFC COM. (4 stars, unless you have a good understanding on COM, otherwise, go to Inside COM =>Essential COM first).
Excellent book for those who have some experience with MFC June 19, 1999

The book has one big strong point for anyone wanting to convert VBXs to OCXs. It has an entire chapter on this topic and was useful for me in converting my old controls to the new stuff. The book does a good job explaining controls using MFC and is easy to read if you have experience writing controls already.
 Good for non beginners. April 6, 1999

I'm wasn't a beginner when I started this book. I had already studied Inside COM by Dale Rogerson and Inside Distributed COM, so I was able to appreciate the depth that this book goes into. I suggest that anyone else planning to buy this book start with those other books to gain a firm background in COM.
