    Visual Component Library VCL Autor: I. Stepanenko Fecha: Monday 27th of September 2021 04:09:10 PM VCL (Visual Component Library) es un marco de trabajo desarrollado por Borland basado en objetos visuales que tienen como finalidad diseñarframes para las aplicaciones que se han programado para Windows y diseñada bajo el concepto de componente: propiedades, métodos y eventos. Está estructuralmente y visualmente sincronizado con Windows, pues el aspecto de las ventanas, los botones o los accesos a internet, etc. son similares. Actualmente es propiedad de CodeGear, de Embarcadero Technologies. Está escrita en Object Pascal (orientado a objetos) por lo que la VCL es una librería usada por los entornos de desarrollo Delphi y C++ Builder. Al hablar de este tipo de bibliotecas o toolkits, se hace mención implícitamente a la programación orientada a objetos, pues los componentes son clases predeterminadas, haciendo su uso más sencillo, visual y cómodo. Se diferencian dos tipos de componentes. Componentes visuales Entre los visuales se distinguen los botones, las etiquetas, las formas y demás elementos visibles. Componentes no visuales Entre los no visuales están los temporizadores, las conexiones a bases de datos y demás elementos sin interfaz gráfica. Clases más importantes Aunque no todas las clases hacen referencia a componentes concretos algunas realizan tareas de gestión interna y se utilizan como clases bases de las cuales derivan otras clases mediante la herencia. VCL es bastante profundo y complicado; no obstante, las clases que forman la parte superior jerárquica son clases abstractas y son: Artículo descargado de www.masterhacks.net | 1 Visual Component Library VCL Autor: I.

  • The Delphi Language for Mobile Development
    This document is an introduction to changes in the “Mobile” version of Delphi and the new Delphi ARM compiler. The focus of this document is to highlight the language changes and techniques that can be used to port existing code and to maintain backwards compatibility. Author: Marco Cantu, Delphi Product Manager, Embarcadero Technologies (suggest updates and integrations to [email protected]). Written with very significant technical contributions by Allen Bauer and the help of many reviewers. Document Revision: 1.0 Moving Delphi to mobile ARM platforms is part of a larger evolution for the Delphi language. As such, the R&D team here at Embarcadero adopted a new architecture that will be common among all Embarcadero languages. Rather than building the compiler and all of the related tools (often indicated with the term “toolchain”) in a completely proprietary and autonomous way, we decided to leverage an existing compiler and tool chain infrastructure that has broad industry support, making it faster for us to add new platforms and operating systems in the future as market demands change. Specifically, the new generation of Delphi compilers (and also the C++Builder compilers) utilize the LLVM architecture. What is this LLVM and why does this matter? Let’s take a quick look at LLVM, and return to our main topic later. The LLVM project has its main web site with a detailed description at http://llvm.org In short, LLVM is “a collection of modular and reusable compiler and tool-chain technologies”. Despite the name (which was originally an acronym, but it is now considered as “the full name of the project”), LLVM has little to do with virtual machines.

  • Borland® Developer Studio
    Borland® Developer Studio FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS GENERAL QUESTIONS What is Borland® Developer Studio? Borland® Developer Studio is the ultimate Windows development solution, combining the previously separate Delphi®, C++Builder®, and C#Builder® products, all in one integrated environment. Borland® Developer Studio is a significant upgrade for Delphi®, C++ and C# developers, with powerful new productivity and performance capabilities that enable software teams to eliminate tedious development tasks so they can quickly and cost- effectively deliver enterprise-class Windows applications. To make it easier for existing customers to find, we are selling the studio under the traditional Delphi®, C++Builder®, and C#Builder® brands for this release – no matter which of these you buy, you’ll get the same complete studio, the same capabilities, at the same price. What if I don’t need or want some of these languages? Customers who don’t need all the languages can choose to install only those they need for a more lightweight installation. In addition, even if customers install all of the supported languages, at runtime they can choose to either load all of the languages or only load a single language (through dedicated desktop icons or command line options) What are the key benefits of Borland® Developer Studio? Borland® Developer Studio supports both native Windows development (for C/C++ and Delphi®) and .NET development (for C# and Delphi®), within a single consistent RAD environment, simplifying maintenance and new development of Win32 applications, while also allowing developers to more easily adopt .NET technologies at their own pace. In addition, Borland® Developer Studio eases the transition of enterprise developers to the Microsoft .NET framework by providing enterprise application services, such as object-relational mapping, object persistence, and transaction support, which are commonly available in the J2EE world but not otherwise available on the .NET platform.

  • Type Extensions, Wirth 1988
    Type Extensions N. WIRTH lnstitut fijr Informatik, ETH, Zurich Software systems represent a hierarchy of modules. Client modules contain sets of procedures that extend the capabilities of imported modules. This concept of extension is here applied to data types. Extended types are related to their ancestor in terms of a hierarchy. Variables of an extended type are compatible with variables of the ancestor type. This scheme is expressed by three language constructs only: the declaration of extended record types, the type test, and the type guard. The facility of extended types, which closely resembles the class concept, is defined in rigorous and concise terms, and an efficient implementation is presented. Categories and Subject Descriptors: D.3.3 [Programming Languages]: Language Constructs-data types and structures; modules, packuges; D.3.4 [Programming Languages]: Processors-code generation General Terms: Languages Additional Key Words and Phrases: Extensible data type, Modula-2 1. INTRODUCTION Modern software development tools are designed for the construction of exten- sible systems. Extensibility is the cornerstone for system development, for it allows us to build new systems on the basis of existing ones and to avoid starting each new endeavor from scratch. In fact, programming is extending a given system. The traditional facility that mirrors this concept is the module-also called package-which is a collection of data definitions and procedures that can be linked to other modules by an appropriate linker or loader. Modern large systems consist, without exception, of entire hierarchies of such modules. This notion has been adopted successfully by modern programming languages, such as Mesa [4], Modula-2 [8], and Ada [5], with the crucial property that consistency of interfaces be verified upon compilation of the source text instead of by the linking process.

  • Differences Between Oberon and Oberon–2
    Oberon2.Differences.Text (20 Jul 93) 0 Differences between Oberon and Oberon–2 H. Mössenböck, N. Wirth Institut für Computersysteme, ETH Zürich Oberon–2 is a true extension of Oberon [1]. This paper summarizes the extensions and tries to shed some light on the motivations behind them. By that we hope to make it easier for the reader to classify Oberon–2. For details the reader is referred to the language report. One important goal for Oberon–2 was to make object–oriented programming easier without sacrificing the conceptual simplicity of Oberon. After three years of using Oberon and its experimental offspring Object Oberon [2] we merged our experiences into a single refined version of Oberon. The new features of Oberon–2 are type–bound procedures, read–only export of variables and record fields, open arrays as pointer base types, and a with statement with variants. The for statement is reintroduced after having been eliminated in the step from Modula–2 to Oberon. Oberon–2 is the result of many discussions among all members of the Institute for Computer Systems at ETH. It is particularly influenced by the ideas of Jürg Gutknecht and Josef Templ. Type–bound procedures Procedures can be bound to a record (or a pointer) type. They are equivalent to methods in object–oriented terminology. The binding is expressed by a separate parameter (the operand to which the procedure is applicable, or the "receiver" as it is called in object–oriented terminology). TYPE Figure = POINTER TO FigureDesc; FigureDesc = RECORD x, y, w, h: INTEGER END; PROCEDURE (f: Figure) Draw; BEGIN ..

Installing C++Builder 2010, the help system etc. I ordered my upgrade of Borland C++ Builder Prosessional 2010 on September 21 2009 so I could choose an additional free product. I choose Delphi PHP 2.0, since I am fairly used to PHP. In order to install C++ Builder 2010, I had to upgrade my 2009 version. I have made an 2009 and 2010 upgrade shortcut on my desktop. You should find your upgrade program: | your start menu or in | the all program category | CodeGear RAD studio 2009 | Check for updates | Program | When finished upgrading the 2009 Builder, I could run the C++ Builder 2010 Setup program. In addition, I installed the additional first three programs that I also find in the Install Folder. Look at the screendumps below, so you get it correct. • Help_Setup Program • dbpack_setup Program • boost_setup Program • Additional_Products HTML document. • ERStudio_Interbase HTML document 2. Getting started with C++ Builder 2010 Professional. If you learn to use the welcome page efficiently, that may be all you need. On the “documentation” menu, you should start with, yes “Getting started” and then “RAD Studio Help” and so on.
