Microsoft Press - Desktop App with MS Visual C++

[SirLars]

book errata

i'm currently using this book to learn visual C++ but am finding some difficulty with the OBVIOUS errors

according to Microsoft Press there ARE no errors

Page 200-203 there is a simple project to create a Worker thread by implementing a timer in the sample "MyApp" application...

i have counted AT LEAST 4 errors so far in just this portion alone...

most of the 'typo's and errors were easy to spot and fix but the ones in this section are really starting to drive me bonkers!

If anyone that has completed this book and done this 'project' can help me i would GREATLY appreciate it...

If anyone knows where the errata for this book is contained on the net, could you possibly direct me there?

should have known a microsoft product would be full of errors they refuse to acknowledge

plz help!
Lars

I don't have the book but if you detail the exact errors you are getting (and perhaps the code) then maybe we can help.
