C++ Builder 5 Developers Guide

C++ Builder 5 Developers Guide

This book was created to fill the gaps in several areas of programming with C++Builder, and to provide content on many

of the new features in C++Builder 5. It is aimed mostly at intermediate and advanced programmers, though several

beginner chapters are included and many chapters contain lead-in information to get you up to speed. In total there

are over 1750 pages of raw content! In particular, we have covered essential topics that are not well covered in other

C++Builder publications. These include: programming conventions, the Standard Template Library (STL/SCL), advanced

exception handling, user interface principles and techniques, program speed optimization, basic and advanced

debugging, detailed information on creating custom components (over 250 pages), basic communications programming,

working with DLL`s and plug-ins, detailed COM/DCOM/COM+ and MIDAS information, on-screen and printed data

presentation, the Win32 API (over 100 pages), multimedia techniques such as playing video and audio files and image

processing, OpenGL programming, creating help files, and distributing and installing your applications.
