Praise for The Tomes of Delphi 3: Win32 Core API
The Tomes of Delphi is the definitive reference for the Win32 API expressed in the
Object Pascal language. It’s a must-have for application and component developers look-
ing to extend their reach beyond the capabilities of the Visual Component Library.”
Steve Teixeira, Director Core Technology
Zone Labs, Inc. and co-author of Delphi 6 Developer’s Guide
***************************
The Tomes of Delphi 3: Win32 Core API is an excellent resource for Delphi programmers
needing to go beyond drag and drop development. This book not only discusses the API in
depth, but also provides solid examples of using Delphi to access the power of Windows
provided through the API.”
Xavier Pacheco, President and CEO
Xapware Technologies, Inc and co-author of the best-selling
Delphi 6 Developer’s Guide
***************************
“One of the features I liked most when I first approached Delphi was its power to go down
to the Windows API-level, something most other visual tools still lack. But this is not an
easy task, and no book like The Tomes of Delphi 3: Win32 Core API can help you under-
stand Windows from the Delphi perspective.”
Marco Cantu, author of the best-selling Mastering Delphi 6
***************************
“Delphi lets developers work ‘under the hood’ with the Win32 API. The Tomes of
Delphi 3: Win32 Core API gives every Delphi developer the knowledge to use the Win32
API powerfully, creatively, and effectively.”
Michael Swindell, Director of Product Management
RAD Tools Group, Borland Software Corporation
***************************
The Tomes of Delphi 3: Win32 Core API is my number one resource when looking for
information about how to use the Win32 core API in Delphi. I especially enjoy the
helpfile that contains the complete text from the book and can be accessed directly when
programming.”
Bob Swart (a.k.a. “Dr. Bob”), Author, trainer, consultant
***************************
“Not only were these the first Delphi books to concentrate on API-level programming,
they set the standard for all future Delphi API books.”
Alan C. Moore, Contributing Editor
Delphi Informant Magazine
Dedication
I would like to dedicate this book to the following people and/or deities who have had a
profound influence in my life: First, to God, whom I’ve been growing much closer to
these last few years, for giving me the intelligence to wade through the confusing and
sometimes maddening sea of Windows API documentation and make sense of it all; sec-
ond, to my family, for putting up with my lack of participation in family activities during
this project; and finally, but most of all, to my wife and soulmate, Marci, who made sure I
had clothes to wear in the morning and food in the evening, fixed my lunches, and gener-
ally took up all of my housework responsibilities so I could concentrate on the book. She
encouraged me and prodded me along when the weight of this project became unbearable,
and because of this she is directly responsible for this work being completed. She is a very
inspiring task master; cracking the whip to bring me in line when I would have rather been
playing X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter. I am unworthy of such a devoted and loving wife, and I
thank God every day for providing me with such a perfect companion. Baby, this one’s
for you.
