Overview of C++Builder Example Applications
The examples provided with C++Builder 6 are identified and briefly described in Table A.3.
Table A.3. Borland C++Builder Example Applications
| Folder | Description |
|---|---|
| Ado | Contains two examples related to using ActiveX Data Objects (ADO): Briefcase and Shape. |
| AppEvents | This example demonstrates the use of the TApplicationEvents component including intercepting application messages, exposing event handlers, and posting text to list boxes. |
| Apps | There are too many to list in this table. See Table A.6 for more details. |
| CodeGuard | An application containing a memory leak, which is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of CodeGuard . |
| Controls | Contains four folders demonstrating various types of controls. The SingleInst folder provides a control for limiting the number of instances of an application. The Source folder provides a set of packages (and source code) that represent the controls found on the Samples tab of the VCL palette. The Traydemo provides an example application showing various effects that can be made to the system tray. The VersionInfo folder provides a set of packages that represent controls for identifying version info elements for an application such as product version, file description, generic label, copyright label, and comments. |
| ConvertIt | An application demonstrating the conversion of various units related to area, distance, mass, temperature, time, and volume. (See Figure A.1 for an illustration of this example). Figure A.1. The ConvertIt example application. |
| Corba | Contains two applications demonstrating the effectiveness of Corba: atm and corbamidas . |
| CustomDraw | A custom draw TreeView example that demonstrates how to change font and background including assigning a bitmap to the canvas of a TTreeView control. |
| DBTasks | Contains a number of applications related to database tasks . There are too many to list in this table; see Table A.9 for more details. |
| DDraw | Contains a number of C++Builder DirectDraw examples. |
| Doc | Contains a mix of applications related to document elements. There are too many to list in this table; see Table A.11 for more details. |
| Docking | Application shows how docking works in several scenarios, including conjoined tab hosts . |
| Experts | Contains an application illustrating the development of experts, and miscellaneous C++Builder component operations. |
| FastNet | Contains a number of applications using NetMaster components . |
| Games | Contains three game examples for C++Builder: a Pong-like game in the EarthPng folder, Coleco-like football game in the Football folder, and a game called Swat! in the Swat folder. (See Figure A.2 for an illustration of the Football example.) Figure A.2. The Football game application. |
| Indy | Contains a number of examples that demonstrate the Indy network components. |
| Internet | Contains two Internet-based applications: Chat and a Hello World Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) for Apache. |
| MFC | Contains five Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) library usage examples. |
| Midas | Contains seven useful examples demonstrating Midas technologies. |
| OpenGL | Contains two OpenGL API examples: Drawing and Rotate. |
| PWordDemo | Demonstrates automation of Microsoft Word services within a C++Builder app. |
| ShellControls | Contains package source for Shell controls, and an example that demonstrates the use of these Shell controls. |
| StdLib | A Standard Template Library (STL) example that runs miscellaneous demos of STL algorithms and types. |
| Teechart | An example application that demonstrates the Tee Chart Pro component. |
| Toolsapi | Contains a set of examples demonstrating how to use Borland's Tools API using C++Builder. Examples include extensions to filters, action lists, native tool services, and key bindings. |
| VirtualListView | This program demonstrates how to create a file explorer application. |
| WebServ | An example of a Common Gateway Services application for Web servers. |
| WebServices | Contains three Web Services examples: EchoService , PostSOAP , and SOAPDataModule . EchoService provides two example ISAPI and CGI servers, and a client application. |
| WebSnap | Contains a number of useful WebSnap examples. There are too many to list here. See Table A.14 for details. |
| WinTools | A C++Builder Command Line Tools GUI example. (See Figure A.3 for an illustration of this example.) Figure A.3. The WinTools command-line GUI application. |
