For IAT patching I advice you to read the codeproject article of Mr. A.Bassov "Process-wide API spying - an ultimate hack" wich contains a deep explanation of IAT hooking.
Concerning direct API hooking wich is far more efficient comparing to the IAT technique you can find in codeproject some good articles or look to the well known microsoft project with fully source code : "detours"

Guys please lets boil down to the best intermediate and advanced level of books on the following topics:-
1)C++
2)COM/DCOM
3)ATL
4)VC++/MFC
5)STL
6)Data Structures
7)Design Patterns
8)UML

How advanced? What are you looking to accomplish? Most of my advanced books focus on specific topics.

There are Terabytes of information in the net about this. And every manual/book with have something that maybe others don't have. And the higher level you want, the more specific will be the book or the manual. So every "little" thing can be various books about and they maybe don't say the same because everyone speaks about a different aspect and all of them are true.
The best solution is look for a while in the net, pick all the free content you find and start reading. If u see that it doesn't gives you good info, or info that u don't need at the moment... go to the next one.
In less than 1 hour you can have more than 500 Mb info (depending on your connection)

This way, you can be reading for the rest of your life without getting to anything.
There are a few books which give you 90% of what you need, and then you go to the net to pick the missing specialties. CodeProject is an exellent starting point.

He is asking for intermediate advance level, so once the basics are ok, you can make what i said and waste few time to know if one manual / book feats what you are looking for or not. I made it in that way, and worked. For basics is better to have a good book with good contents and good structure, but when you are specializiting (as he asks) in some particular questions... the best is look for it on your own.

I did understand this as meaning "I know programming, so noone needs to tell me about the difference between while and do..until".
This rules out the vast majority of net-tutorials.
But he did not ask for special topics, so I gave him books every C++-Programmer should have read (The Myers!) and books showing the basics of the MFC-Platform.
For the special topics, he would need to google (after he has read the articles here!

Some books I use almost dayly, numbered with your topic numbers:
All of these are some kind of timeless classics.
1) Scott Myers, Effective C++
Scott Myers, More Effective C++
4) Jeff Prosise, Programming Windows with MFC
Charles Petzold, Programming Windows
5) Nicolai Josuttis, The C++ Standard Library
Scott Myers, Effective STL

On the light side:
1.Select your book by weight!
2.Avoid "cut and paste" books with lots of pictures!( See item 1 )
3.Go to your local library.
4.Check educational institutions for courses study materials.
5.Go to local bookstore AFTER you narroved down the subject of your interest.
6.No matter what you selected - finish it first!
7.Make bookmarks and notes in YOUR book only!

class Fred;<br />

class FredBase {<br />
private:<br />
friend class Fred;<br />
FredBase() { }<br />
};<br />
<br />
class Fred : private virtual FredBase {<br />
public:<br />
...<br />
};
How does the above piece of code ensure that the class is non derivable?

It doesn't.
Can you explain, what you want to know ?

There are two principles involved.
1. A friend class can access all members of the host class including private members. So Fred class will be able to access the constructor of FredBase.
2. The constructor of a virtual base class (FredBase) is always called by the most derived class. So if a new class is being derived from Fred, that new class will be the one calling the constructor of FredBase. This will fail as the constructor is private.
The error can be seen only when an object of the newly derived class is created as that is where the constructor call happens.

What is meant by operator functions? This is nothing to do with operator overloading. It has something to do with explicit conversions. This was a question that was asked by someone.

I haven't heard of operator functions but related to explicit conversions are conversion functions
(aka conversion operators, casting operators).

Something like the operator LPCTSTR() that CString uses?
But this is about *implicit* conversion.

I thought this was the way it's always been.
GetDocument() is already declared/defined in the base class. There's no reason for
your derived class to have another one.
Constructor/destructor are private because views aren't meant to be created
directly.
Welcome to MFC Doc/View  If you follow the rules, it works fine.
For custom functionality, study the MFC source code carefully!

Mmm,
"However, after adding the newly created view class in doc/view template it cannot be used until the constructor is made public."
Im not agree with that. I have a multiview project MainView is CScrollView derived and there are 3 SecViews template from CForm derived but I can have up to 49 Views opened at the same time. The constructors of my SecondaryViews are still protected.
For the problem with the GetDocument (), it is easy to implement a trick. I use GetDocument ONLY in my MainView but I can access to the document from ALL the classes I have implemented (more than 50), it doesn't matters if they are View-derived or Object-derived or another parent class.
By printing from secondary views you don't get it easly with the assistant but you can add it manually and works perfectly.
If u need some examples about ask for

You never, ever construct views using their constructor.
This is done by the FrameWnd or the SplitterWnd containing it using IMPLEMENT_DYNCREATE.

I don't know what you mean by 'Gallery', but normally, views are created by a (class derived from) CFrameWnd or a CSplitterWnd by calling CreateView(). Most often in OnCreateClient().

I have an application that writes to the registry to start itself on startup, but I need some function to get the application path. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Great! Thanks a lot for that suggestion. I looked at it on MSDN, and there's only a small problem left. I am using a CString named path to store the path, and so for the buffer I used path.GetBuffer(0) like ::GetModuleFileName(NULL,path.GetBuffer(0),sizeof(path.GetBuffer(0)));. Unfortunately, the path, no matter what my executable is named, is C:\Dstrcore.cpp. Any clue as to what's going on? I suspect that it's something to do with the CString.
Also, is there any other way to get a buffer of modifyable length like the CString method GetBuffer? char* doesn't seem to work for me...I have to initialize it like path=new char [10], but I don't know how many characters the path will be...CString helps by null terminating the string and also by having a buffer of modifyable length...If anyone can figure out how to do this with a char*, I'd be really grateful.
Thanks again.
