Teach Yourself Borland C++ in 14 Days - portal

Summary
Creating Applications in C++Builder
C++Builder (in the \CBuilder\Images directory) in your applications
without permission from Borland.
The Object Repository is a great tool for reusing previously created forms, dialog boxes,
projects, and other objects. The capability to add your own objects to the Repository is a huge
advantage when you’re doing RAD. The Dialog Wizard and Application Wizard take it a step
further and guide you through the creation process. The Application Wizard, in particular,
is a very useful tool. In the middle of the chapter you learned how to add data members and
functions to the classes that C++Builder generates. The last part of the chapter touches on
the different types of resources that you might need to incorporate into your applications and
how to add them to your C++Builder projects.
Workshop
The Workshop contains quiz questions to help you solidify your understanding of the
material covered and exercises to provide you with experience in using what you have learned.
You can find answers to the quiz questions in Appendix A, “Answers to Quiz Questions.”
Q&A
Q When would I use the Use option of the Object Repository?
A When you have an object stored in the Object Repository that you want to update
or make other changes to.
Q Is there a limit to the number of objects that can be stored in the Object
Repository?
A Technically, you can store as many objects as you like. Remember, though, that the
purpose of the Object Repository is to help you quickly locate and reuse your
forms, dialog boxes, and other objects. If you put too many seldom-used objects in
the Object Repository, you will start to lose efficiency because it takes longer to
find the specific object you are looking for. It also takes longer for the Object
Repository to load and display all those objects.
