AIM
To study the principles and techniques of windows
programming using MFC, procedures, resources,
controls and database programming through the visual
languages, Visual C++ and Visual Basic.
OBJECTIVES :
i. To study about the concepts of windows programming
models, MFC applications,
drawing with the GDI, getting inputs from Mouse and the
Keyboard.
ii. To study the concepts of Menu basics, menu magic and
classic controls of the
windows programming using VC++.
iii. To study the concept of Document/View Architecture
with single & multiple document
interface, toolbars, status bars and File I/O
Serialization.
iv. To study about the integrated development programming
event driven programming,
variables, constants, procedures and basic ActiveX
controls in visual basic.
v. To understand the database and the database management
system, visual data
manager, data bound controls and ADO controls in VB.

shapes. GDI pens – Brushes - GDI fonts -
Deleting GDI objects and deselecting GDI objects. Getting
input from the mouse: Client & Nonclient
- Area mouse messages - Mouse wheel - Cursor. Getting
input from the keyboard: Input focus
- Keystroke messages - Virtual key codes - Character
& dead key messages.
UNIT II RESOURCES AND CONTROLS 9

layout – Intermediate window. Designing the user
interface: Aligning the controls – Running the
application – Visual development and event driven
programming.

91
procedures. Text box controls – List box & Combo box
controls – Scroll bar and slider controls – File
controls.
UNIT V DATABASE PROGRAMMING WITH VB 8
Record sets – Data control – Data control properties,
methods. Visual data manager: Specifying
indices with the visual data manager – Entering data with
the visual data manager. Data bound list
control – Data bound combo box – Data bound grid control.
Mapping databases: Database object –
