This seems to be the hardest thing to get help with - there are no books, no useful google results, and borland's own help facilities are far to complicated for me to isolate the answers I need. I want to make a connection to an already existing microsoft access database using builder. I want to be able add/delete/read the records. t...
What are the required flags for tlibimp.exe to properly mimic choosing 'Component -> Import ActiveX Control -> Install' in the Borland C++ Builder 5 IDE? I currently pass tlibimp an ocx and -L-, but there is a loss in funcionality when compared with results of importing it manually. ...
I need to read reports in Java from Paradox but I don't know how to do this. Can reports be imported through netbeans using a working driver? I have linked tables to Java but not the reports. I need to apply some Rich Text (ie. making a sentence BOLD - thus the need for the connection). Do you have any suggestions as to how I can pri...
The following code demonstrates a weird problem I have in a Turbo C++ Explorer project. One of the three stack objects in D::D() is not destroyed after going out of scope. This only happens if compiled in release mode, the auto_ptrs a_ and b_ are of different types and the exception thrown doesn't inherit from std::exception. It appear...
When compiling a makefile with the BCB5 commandline tools, the linker gives me this error: [exec] D:\PROGRA~1\Borland\CBUILD~1\Bin\..\BIN\ilink32 @MAKE0000.@@@ [exec] Turbo Incremental Link 5.00 Copyright (c) 1997, 2000 Borland [exec] Fatal: Unable to open file 'CONSTS.OBJ' [exec] ** error 2 ** deleting lib\paslib.lib I've checke...
I have a problem where NUnit Assert.IsTrue crashes with an "access denied" (0xc0000005) access violation. Since managed applications are not supposed to cause such errors, I started looking at any unmanaged code loaded by the NUnit tests. And sure enough, after a process of elimination the simplest way to reproduce the problem turned out...
Hi all, I know this may sound strange, but yes, it's 2009 and I need to write small application using BCB5 :) The problem is that DynamicArray throws OutOfBound exception when trying to expand it from within worker thread. I have global variable, let's say DynamicArray<double> X; In main thread I check the length of array and I g...
We're trying to convert a piece of C++ code written in MFC which uses the CWnd.SubclassWindow method, into Borland C++ Builder code. Does anyone know how to do subclassing (subclass with a TForm object) - we're completely stuck. Any pointers will be much appreciated! TIA! Specifics: We have an existing base class written in Borland C++...
On main form I have TPageControl and on all of it's tabs I have corresponding Save buttons which are activated on Alt+S combination. Of course, depending on which tab is opened at the moment, the handler for corresponding Save button should be called; but I get "cannot focus a disabled or invisible window" runtime error if I try to save ...
I am trying to compile a rather large project with Borland C++ Builder 5.5. The project compiles in the IDE, but is much too slow. However, when I compile with the command line I get an ambiguity error that was not present in the IDE: Error E2015 Project.h 536: Ambiguity between 'TTreeNode' and 'Comctrls::TTreeNode' My command line a...

I'm trying to import the log4cpp project into Borland Codegear C++ Builder 2009 . The rar file of the project contains a bpr file which corresponds to a project. When trying to open it, an error popup window is shown, saying: OLE error 80131040, ClassID: {F8FEDD39-E3CE-4B8D-A657-9CA24686881F} I do not have idea of what's going on, an...

In Borland C++ Builder 4.0 I go to Project->Import Type Library-> and find my DLL's type library there and click "Ok" to import it. BCB creates an HardwareCheck_TLB.cpp & HardwareCheck_TLB.h file. In a cpp file of the ...

I've been trying to compile a Borland C++ Builder 6 project, but linker dies with exact following error: [Linker Fatal Error] Fatal: Unable to open file '.OBJ' Strange thing about it is that it doesn't give any file name except the extension. It looks like an internal bug, though googling for it didn't give any results. Has anyone enc...
A few years ago C++ Builder from Borland with its excellent VCL gui library and its gui designer was the best IDE for C++ development on Windows. Once beloved, for a couple of years now Builder has been losing users steadily. What do you think are the biggest mistakes Borland/Inprise/CodeGear/Embarcadero has made? ...
