C++Builder Developer's Journal

Hi, It's been a while since I coded in BCB but I thought I'd pick it back up. Anyway, I'm trying to install TCoolTrayIcon but everything is going wrong, There is CoolTrayIcon_D5.dpk and CoolTrayIcon_D6plus.dpk But when I go to Components -> Install, it says There already is a CoolTrayIcon so I don't...

I second this, I am testing C++Builder XE6 and trying to load a .dpk or .dproj and I get this error: --------------------------- Error --------------------------- The project can not be loaded because the required personality Delphi.Personality is not available.. --------------------------- OK -----...

Hi, I'm trying to get a VCL form to display inside a DLL. As a test, I have created a DLL and put this function in it: //--------------------------------------------------------------------------- #include <vcl.h> #include <windows.h> #pragma hdrstop //-----------------------------------------------...

Hi, I have a TCppWebBrowser called Web and I need to grab the <select> box options. and I need to know the one that is currently selected lets say my select box was <select id="selbox_foo"> how would I do it? this is how far I got (by looking at some code in another thread TComInterface<IHTMLDocumen...

Instead I just downloaded TCoolTrayIcon and that works much better!

I'm using BCB 6. For some reason when using TTrayIcon 's animate property, it iterates through them but then shows no icon for a second at the end.
Does anyone know if this is a bug or how to fix it?
Thanks,
Jim

http://findicons.com is pretty nice

Anyone know how I would fetch a list of outlook contacts?

I need to synchronize outlook contacts with my client's list of contacts on his server.

Well, I found out the dlls that I could use: OpenSSL096m Turns out you cannot distribute them with your application unless you first deal with the Export Laws. As a work-around, someone in #delphi (efnet) suggested using WinInet below is the code I am using to get post data, works with SSL too. #inc...

Thanks for the reply. Where exactly do I get the openssl dlls for indy8?

Well I attached the SSL intercept component from indy and it worked!

Problem is when I went to distribute it on another machine, it gave me a "Could not load SSL library" error.

Is there some dll or something i need to distribute?

For this reason I created a Borland C++Builder Project Cleaner to clean .bpk files and it should also clean .bpr files It seems like everytime I go to open and compile a component, it adds a bunch of extra files to the link. Use this prog to quickly clean them out -- useful if added to Tools -> sect...

I found this article in Delphi that seems to do what I want, but How to convert to BCB?

Well, I am using OnCanResize to limit the form size, but the behavior is not correct When resizing the form from the left to right or top to bottom, it actually moves the form. When Resizing from left to right, it moves the form to the right (while maintaining minmum size) The same happens from top ...
