International Programming for Microsoft Windows

Designed for programmers and ISVs looking to extend their expertise and capitalize on burgeoning international markets, this book explains how to create localized versions of Windows-based software using Visual C++ 6.0. Until now, no programming reference has comprehensively addressed internationalization issues, but this guide deftly addresses the myriad character-set, interface, and programming considerations involved -- all in a single volume. Readers get practical, detailed information for utilizing the built-in internationalization and localization support in Visual C++. Discussion covers everything from conceptual concerns -- such as working with non-Roman alphabets and right-to-left (and other) screen orientations -- to the specifics of using MFC, ATL, COM, and other tools when developing international products.
