318 Day 9 For starters, I’ll spend some time discussing the Object Repository, which is where C++Builder stores any prebuilt forms or applications for you to reuse. Following that discussion, you will meet the Wizards, which guide you step-by-step through the creation process. You provide the details, and C++Builder builds the form or application based on the information you provided. The Wizards are a powerful tool for rapid application development. Finally, we’ll close the day talking about how you can use resources in your C++Builder applications. So let’s get to it. Working with the Object Repository NOTE The Object Repository dialog box is the means by which you can select predefined objects to use in your applications. The Object Repository is a text file that contains the information that the Object Repository dialog box displays. For the sake of simplicity, I will refer to the Object Repository dialog box and the repository file collectively as simply the Object Repository. The Object Repository allows you to do the following: ■ Choose a predefined application, form, or dialog box to implement in your application ■ Add your own forms, dialog boxes, and applications to the Object Repository ■ Add other objects to your application such as ASCII text files and additional source code units ■ Manage data modules ■ Create new components ■ Invoke Wizards to help you build a dialog box or an application Object Repository Pages and Options The Object Repository is displayed automatically whenever you choose File | New from the main menu. Figure 9.1 shows the Object Repository window as it initially appears if you choose File | New with no project open.
Figure 9.1. The Object Repository window. NOTE Creating Applications in C++Builder Strange as it may seem, the Object Repository dialog box is titled New Item, and the Object Repository configuration dialog box is titled Object Repository. To say that this is confusing is a bit of an understatement. The Object Repository has several pages, each of which contains different objects that you can incorporate into your applications. As you can see from Figure 9.1, the New tab is what is initially selected when the Object Repository is displayed. Table 9.1 lists the Repository pages and a description of the items you will find on each page. Table 9.1. The Object Repository pages. Page/Tab Description New Allows you to create a new application, console app, form, or source code unit for use in your application. Also allows you to create advanced objects such as DLLs, components, and data modules. Forms Allows you to create standard forms from prebuilt forms such as an About box, a database form, or Quick Reports. Dialogs Presents choices of several different basic dialog box types from which you can choose. Also contains the Dialog Wizard. Data Modules Allows you to choose from data modules in your application. Projects Displays full projects that you can choose from to initially set up an application. Also contains the Application Wizard. 319 9
