The C++Builder IDE Explored: Projects and Forms
Q What’s the difference between a dialog box and a child window in
C++Builder?
A There is no real difference. A dialog box form might have certain traits such as a
dialog box border rather than a sizing border; OK, Cancel, and Help buttons; and
no Minimize or Maximize buttons. But a dialog box is still just a form like any
other. A form might have the appearance of a dialog box or of a child window, but
a form is just a form.
Q Can I check my program for errors without running the program?
A Yes. Just choose Project | Syntax Check from the main menu. C++Builder will
compile any units that have changed since the last compile and will report any
errors encountered.
Q Can I build OWL or MFC applications with C++Builder?
A Yes. Because C++Builder’s strengths lie in its use of VCL, you probably won’t want
to develop complex applications in C++Builder using OWL or MFC, but you
certainly may if you want.
