The Second Cut

Borland C++ Builder Examples


The freeware programs on this site are written in Borland C++ Builder. Although I'm not a professional programmer, I've learned a few useful tricks in using BCB. Since this fine but reasonably priced product has weak documentation, many users post information they think will be helpful to others. Note that while these examples may have some application to Microsoft Visual C++ users, not all C++ code is interchangeable between the two compilers. None of this code has ever been compiled or tested under Visual C++. They were tested with BCB3 under Windows 95 and Windows 98.

The main headings below are not just headings; They are links to the main discussion of the topic. The sub-headings are details or refinements to be read, ideally, after you've read the main document.
