Intermediate Win32 Book??? (C++)

[joeh1002]

I'm looking for an intermediate book for Win32 programming. My first book was "Programming Windows 98 From the Ground Up." It got me started but I have already out-grown it.

I'm looking for a book that has good introductory information on the following:

non mfc (I hate MFC)
subclassing
call back functions
creating and using custom controls (ActiveX OLE etc...)
Anything else U think a beginning programmer, ready to take the next step, needs to know.


It needs to have working examples that are easy to understand and well explained.

What do U guys recommend?

Thanks,

Joe

Take a look at Charles Petzold's 'Programming Windows'...

That book is still an introductory book. Albeit a very good one; It is WAY better than what I'm using now and I think I'll buy it just for a reference.

The thing is that I have a good handle on the basics of win32 programming with the api, and I need a book that goes beyond the basics or assumes you already know the basics.

I mainly need information on subclassing, call back functions, and using/making custom controls (ActiveX OLE etc...). It seems Charles Petzold's book only touches on these subjects and I need an in-depth book on this stuff.

BTW, while I'm searching for a book can anyone recommend some good web sites on these subjects?

Any more book suggestions?

Thanks,

Joe
