c++builder

I am new to c++ builder and unfamiliar with the threading I was hoping someone could post an example or point me in the right direction. I have a form which loads the formShow() function in c++ builder. It does what I want my program to do but only after that will it display the actual form. For this i need to thread the form and the background running of the program. Can anyone help me atall? It might be simplier to just delay your logic until after the OnShow event has exited, without using a thread at all. For example: const UINT WM_DO_WORK = WM_USER + 1; void __fastcall TForm1::FormShow

When I create a Delphi console application, I can deploy the generated EXE file without worrying about external DLL files. But if I create very simple C++Builder (version 2007) console application (no VCL ) the EXE file requires the CC3280MT.dll file to run. How can I avoid which my C++Builder console application requires the CC3280MT.dll file? Even this simple code cause this dependence: #include <iostream.h> #pragma hdrstop #pragma argsused int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { cout << "Hello" << endl; getchar(); return 0; } In the project options, uncheck the linker option "Dynamic RTL". In

I am using C++ Builder and I have a vector array of Appointment objects. I want to save it to and load it from a file. Currently, I am using ifstream and ofstream with binary files. I have a header that contains the size of the vector that will be saved alongside the data, so as to know its size when loading. Is serilization a better way to do this? If so, do I need to use the boost library, or another way? Here is my current code: class appointment { public: appointment(); appointment(TDateTime aDate, TDateTime aReminderDateTime, string aType, string aLocation, string aComments, bool

I now have a rather rare situation. I have an application which directly interacts with Windows' message queue. This application also runs external Lua scripts with LuaJIT. I wanted to have a debugging facility for these scripts, so I've created a plain VCL application, and then converted it into a DLL library. When the first application starts a debugging session with the library, this DLL creates a separated thread, where the whole VCL facility is initialized and run. procedure TDebuggerThread.Execute; begin Application.Initialize; Application.MainFormOnTaskbar := True; Application

I am trying to block anything external loaded by TEmbeddedWB or TWebBrowser (or TCppWebBrowser). I would like to block anything that is loaded from Internet including images, javascript, external CSS, external [embed] or [object] or [applet] or [frame] or [iframe], executing JavaScript that can load external content etc. This problem consists of 2 parts: putting web browser into "restrict all" (except basic HTML without images) and detecting if such content exists if external content is not present ok, if it is, showing a "download bar" which after click puts web browser into "download all"

I need to find basic WYSIWYG HTML editor component for C++Builder 5 to let users to create some simple text that I will paste into existing HTML page template. Just a simple support to create links, add images, use headers/bold/italic. You can drop a TWebBrowser on a form and enable designmode on it, like this: // Delphi code.. (WebBrowser1.Document as IHTMLDocument2).designMode := 'on'; After executing the above line, the page will be editable. You can type extra text, delete, etc. If you want to make selections bold or insert images, you're going to have to add some buttons to program that.

Is there any way to convert COFF library (lib file) to OMF library for using with C++Builder6 ? This coff is not just import library, it conatians some code. When I try to convert it using borland's coff2omf.exe, I get 1KB file from 15KB file. It's fairly typical for an OMF object file to be a lot smaller than an equivalent COFF object, so what you're getting may well be valid. If you find that it's really not, you can probably break the lib file into individual object files, disassemble the object files, re-assemble them to OMF object files, and put those together into an OMF lib file.
