The bestselling author of books about the Windows API for Visual Basic programmers presents this book divided into three parts with puzzles, solutions to the puzzles, and general tutorials that readers can refer to for help with the puzzles. The CD-ROM contains sample code for all puzzles, solutions and tutorials; VB 6.0 and 5.0 compatible source code; a 30-minute video by the author, and more. ...This long-awaited complement to Appleman's previous bestseller shows programmers how to turbocharge VB by describing how to control the entire Windows API. Divided into three parts, the book begins with a series of programming puzzles of increasing complexity. Each puzzle describes a typical API function, followed by a small VB program applying the function. These programs almost work but are all missing something. Readers are challenged to solve the puzzle and fix the program -- thus learning in the process. The second part contains solutions to the puzzles, along with in-depth technical explanations, while the final part concludes with general tutorials that readers can refer to for help in solving the problems.
