Be sure to carefully screen any books you look at. A lot of VC++ books are
focused on Windows application development. Consequently, you wind up
reading all about document/view architecture and serialization and very
little about developing components.

That is my problem..I have gone to B& N but all the books simply go way to
deep into stuff that I won't need. Should I just stick to basic C++ books?
My problem is getting around syntax...now that OMF gets rid of many of the
ARX functions I am even more lost.

Thanks

Michael Puckett might have some good suggestions. I'll see what he says and
get back to you.

Object Model Frame (for the vertical Desktop software)
It is the next step in evolution for Cad. So powerful you have to sign your
life away to get the source code.

Have you signed your life away? When did you sacrifice your life - how long
ago?
Who all are among the suicidal source code acquirees?
How does one sign up in order to participate effectively in this suicide?

Not quite the description I would have given Rob 😉

OMF is short for Object Modeling Framework, and is the (ObjectARX based) C++
API for Architectural Desktop based products.

It provides access to the ADT objects and system, as well as encapsulating
some of the more complex aspects of ObjectARX (e.g. wblock cloning is
reduced to a single function call) and providing some UI components for
prompting and dialogs.

To use an OMF application, the platform needs to be running either
Architectural Desktop, or an object enabled AutoCAD of the appropriate
version.

Hope this helps

Here is what Michael had to say:

I hate to dissappoint (sic) you, but my C++ studies are purposely VERY
generic at
this point, thus my books are not even Windows specific, never mind AutoCAD
specific. Having said that, I do not think there is ONE book to satisfy the
needs of the C++ programmer, so here's my quick 'Essential C++ Books' list:

The C++ Programming Language, Spec. Ed., Bjarne Stroustrup
The C++ Standard Library, Nicolai M. Josuttis
Algorithms in C++, Robert Sedgewick
C++ FAQs, 2nd Ed., Marshall Cline
C++ Programmer's Notebook, 2nd Ed., Jim Keogh
C++ How to program, 3rd Ed., Deitel & Deitel

I have some 30 C++ books, but these are the ones I find I've been using the
most.
