MFC Adapter for MS Access 3.0

Adapter offers alternative approach to problem-solving in the integration of heterogeneous applications.Adapter allows to assemble the "double body" application (bb-application). Such application consists of two sections: MS Access database and Visual C++/MFC application. Note that these sections are not container and component, as usual. They are two standalone applications! Nominally, MS Access part acts as mainframe application, while the VC part is sub application.In fact, each of two constituents of bb-application operates in autonomous mode."Double body" application has united "circulatory system" (message loop/processing), and also common "skeleton": both parts share common MDI frame and client windows. BB-application appears in dual image: either as MS Access or as VC application. Its state depends on that what kind of MDI child window is active. In transparent mode, Adapter implements control flow needed for proper work of bb-application.Adapter provides ideal conditions for the bi-directional exchange of the resources between MS Access and Visual C++ applications. Harnessing the power of MS Access for developing the MFC application (and vice versa) by using Adapter and its great usability will allow programmers to achieve maximum productivity and flexibility. Adapter provides VC/VBA programmers with very simple technique and requires no additional special skills (in particular, COM based programming).Adapter is embodied in form of API consisted of few function used both inside VC project and VBA modules. Only one function is required to transform VC executable application into sub-application!VC programmer develops the sub application as well as the general executable MFC MDI Document/View application. The presence of MFC-adapter in VC project does not bring about significant changes in the VC++/MFC programmers usual style of work.Adapter lowers the dev costs and skill barriers to creating all kinds of database related applications.
