- Title: VCLDLG EXAMPLE
-
- Keywords: VCL form OWL dialog
-
- C++BUILDER AND BCBROOT ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE REQUIRED TO BUILD PROJECT
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
- In order to build this project, you must have Borland C++Builder
- installed and you must manually define the environment variable
- BCBROOT, making it point to the base of your installed C++Builder
- tree. For example:
-
- set BCBROOT=c:\cbuilder
-
- WHAT IS OWLDLG?
- ---------------
- This example demonstrates using OWL and VCL together in a single
- application. The Color menu command invokes a dialog box that
- was designed with C++Builder. The .DFM and VCLDLG.* files
- were generated within C++Builder (and then tweaked by hand, but
- that isn't always necessary.)
-
- VCL-COMPATIBLE LIBRARIES
- ------------------------
- This project links to several libraries that are not installed
- as part of BC5. VCLD.LIB and CP32MT.LIB come with Borland C++Builder.
- OWLWV.LIB is on the BC5 CD in \BC5\LIB. (VCL-compatible OWL
- DLLs are also on the CD.)
-
- SEEING THE LIBRARIES IN TARGET EXPERT
- -------------------------------------
- To link with the VCL-compatible OWL and RTL libraries, this project
- overrides the usual TargetExpert settings. If the runtime nodes
- are not already visible, choose Options|Environment|Project View
- and check the Show Run-time Nodes box. You'll see in the Project
- View that the runtime library is called CP32MT.LIB, not CW32MT.LIB.
- CP32MT.LIB ships with C++Builder (as does VCL.LIB.)
-
- If you open TargetExpert in this project, do not click OK to close
- it or TargetExpert will reset the libraries and you'll have to restore
- them by hand.
-
- WHERE TO FIND MORE INFORMATION
- ------------------------------
- For more details, see OWLVCL.DOC (a WordPad file) in the \BC5\DOC
- directory.
