Chapter 4. Creating Custom Components

by Mark Cashman

IN THIS CHAPTER

• Creating, Compiling, and Installing Packages

• Creating Custom Components

• The Streaming Mechanism

• Distributing Components

This chapter deals with creating and distributing custom components. The components that you use in C++Builder are often the beginning of your applications, but even when you are the only developer on a project, you will probably find situations where creating components based on the components you already have can, in the long run, save time and money. When you are a developer on a large project, or when you want to make a capability available to the wider development community (either as a package of components for sale or simply as freeware or shareware) the creation of custom components is a major focus of your effort.
