C++Builder Developer's Journal

Hello, having successfully recently built a 32-bit project in XE7 I thought I would give CodeGuard a spin. In Tools-Configure I configured it for memory leaks (only). In Project Options I enabled CodeGuard, having ensured that Link with Dynamic Libraries and Compile With Packages are off (as prescri...

Hi, I still use CPB6 predominantly. I also have XE7 (also obsolete !) which I occasionally use when I need its additional features (such as 64-bit compile, latest IntraWeb). Moving from CPB 6 to XE7 I have universally found it necessary to follow the plan: - Create a new 'Hello World' app in XE7 - O...

Thanks Scott. I guess I should have just tried that, but since it was never necessary for the 32-bit versions I assumed I was doing something wrong.

Hi, I am using XE7 to build a 64-bit version of an app; when I deploy the 32-bit build it runs perfectly but when I deploy the 64-bit build it fails on start-up with "...rtl210.bpl missing ...". I have built with Link with Dynamic RTL unchecked and Link with Runtime Packages unchecked (and confirmed...

(2) - I eventually found how to add 64-bit platform to individual project.

(1) - Think it's a licensing issue, got it in hand.

One other thing...

Me again. I (seemingly) successfully installed XE7 from an .iso downloaded from the Emb. site, no apparent hitches. The object is to create a 64-bit application. Now I have come immediately across two problems: (1) - Open Project doesn't do anything - I mean it literally doesn't do owt - no file dia...

Not to worry, I have managed to download the .iso from the E site and that seems to install ok.

Hello, I'm trying to install XE7 from the support CD I got when I originally bought the product. (Install works fine in W7). But setup.exe doesn't work, W10 doesn't know what to do with the .hta file and I can't find a solution on-line (or an app that does other than simply display a banner). Denville

Thanks Remy

Hello friends and a very happy Christmas to you all.

When a (TCP IPv4) server socket is opened, is there a reliable, generic way to know whether the caller is on a local intranet (which may be a router or two away) or has connected via the Internet ?

So here is today's teaser (forgive that it is not directly CPB but it is the environment in which the programme runs). The PC has two RJ45 wired network adapters, I have renamed them LAN and WAN after my Chinese friends. Both connect to entirely static local networks; neither has nor needs a default...

All these years and I never twigged that ! Thanks Remy.

Has anyone discovered how to do this (CPB6) ... Sometimes in the debugger I inspect a (potentially lengthy) string or character variable, which I would like to copy to the clipboard to save me a lot of copying. The context menu surprisingly doesn't give a copy option and Ctrl-C goes to the Change fe...

Thanks Remy I took control of fcl and bcl directly as otherwise I had to remember to set the TTreeView's Color to clWhite instead of the default clWindow. (At that point I hadn't discovered this and bcl was rendered as black). Re Focused and Selected, the TV is read-only and the only important thing...

Sender->Canvas->Font->Style
does the trick.

Can't believe I didn't see that myself. Thanks !

Denville.
