| Introduction |
This is a new page I hope to use as a forum for all things Builder. I am a software developer that has done many varied projects using Borland C++ Builder, from database front-ends, to graphic design tools for industrial printers. My current job involves programming a Windows user interface for a new industrial printing system. This involves two main areas, a graphical design tool for laying out pages, and a printer control program for controlling the printing process. Go to MIKOH Imaging Systems for the info.
I have written both of these programs using Builder from scratch and I know that I could not have done it as quickly with any other tool set (and I have used plenty of them). What I hope to do in this page is present tutorials and code-snippets that tell a new, or even experienced programmer how to use the tools availble in Builder.
Many similar pages to this have some Delphi content. I have never used Delphi past a brief look, and I don't intend to (even with the goodies in Delphi 8), so this page will not contain any Pascal, or Delphi references. Even though there will be no Delphi, there is going to be some plain C. This will be used to demonstrate the Win32 API where VCL does not cover it, or when the VCL implementation is not ideal.
Finally, I am going to put some of the bugs I have found in Builder on this page. Sometimes I think Builder is out to drive you nuts with some of the things that it does. I am afraid that I wont be able to give any solutions to the insanity, just things to look out for.

Yes I am back working on this site and have decided to start a multi-part COM tutorial for Borland C++ Builder in the Tutorials section.

I have found the ultimate tool for Borland tools users that if you haven't already found, you should get now. It is called MemProof and is currently up to version 0.9.50. This program has stabilised one of my projects by 100% in a critical section of code and has saved my plenty of support headaches later.
