My team is currently thinking of moving our existing MDI-based application to a more modern, docking-based approach. We're still thinking, but we'd like to move it to something like VS2010's docking and visual look: This has the following features: Shows a blended outline where the window will dock Docks into tabs, as well as side-by-side Allows docking by dragging and releasing over an image showing the dock position (I call this a 'docking widget' below) Looks pretty good too (theme / UI-wise) I am having trouble finding a good-quality docking library to use with RAD Studio 2010 and am

Is it possible to decompile C++ Builder exe? Is C++ Builder safe programming tools or anyone can decompile it and see the code? The short answer, yes, it can be decompiled, and it's not "safe". Anything ran on a computer can be disassembled and from that inspected by reading the disassembly. Decompiling would mean restoring even some of the original compiled source code - which indeed is possible, to some extent. After all, it is "just" about writing a program which can translate assembly to the desired language. If a human can do that, then a program can do that too, because it is only about

I need an example of WindowHandleToPlatform for c++ builder I want to use the handle to do bitblt and other functions to a form I can do this using VCL and works great. Think WindowHandleToPlatform is the solution for firemonkey, but documentation is very poor Thanks Try this: #include <FMX.Platform.Win.hpp> void __fastcall TMyForm::DoSomething() { TWinWindowHandle *ThisHandle = WindowHandleToPlatform(this->Handle); if (ThisHandle != NULL) { HWND hWnd = ThisHandle->Wnd; if (ThisWnd != NULL) { // use ThisWnd as needed... } } } Or use FormToHWND() instead (which uses WindowHandleToPlatform()

I have an executable program that runs in several pc's in a network. At first it gets the host name (pc-001.. pc-013 etc). Then i need to mount a network drive (server1) on even pc's and (server2) on odds one based on its host name. My problem is that i use system call to run dos command 'net use' for example system ("net use x: \\\\server1\\shares /user:username pass"); How can i pass a variable to username? username is the host name which i know its value and pass is the same for all computers. You could build the command passed to system e.g. like char cmdbuf[256]; snprintf(cmdbuf, sizeof

I'm try to build a tool that reads data from a database and displays it as a table using a TGrid in Firemonkey. I need to use different types of columns like TCheckColumn and TPopupColumn but can't find any good guide or example on how to use them in C++ Builder. Any way, I managed to understand the usage of the TStringColumn,TProgressColumn setting the Value of the cell in the TGrid's event onGetValue. Does any one of you know how to set the Value for columns of type TCheckColumn, TImageColumn and TPopupColumn? thanks Daniele ---UPDATE--- I managed to use the TProgressColumn. This is what I

How to query and get results from remote database using DataSnap technology in C++ Builder 10.1 Berlin ? I want to build a simple solution having two VCL Forms Applications, like client(1) and server(2), running on two different windows os computers, connected on same local network. But I cannot accomplish this simple task and this is what I tried to do: On the server application (2), I use: TSQLConnection *SQLConnection1; TSQLQuery *SQLQuery1; and I will load a SQLite database version 3: if (SQLConnection1->Params->IndexOf("Database") == -1) { SQLConnection1->Params->Add("Database="+Form-
