C++Builder 5 Developers Guide
"Apps" Example Applications
A number of examples are found under the Examples/Apps folder where C++Builder is installed. These are identified and briefly described in Table A.6.
Table A.6. Apps Example Applications
| Folder | Description |
|---|---|
| Autocon | Example of an OLE Automation Controller, which uses both VTable methods and Dispatch methods to access a COM object. Requires the automation server within the Autosrv folder to be registered (built and run) to execute. (See Figure A.4 for an illustration of this example.) |
| Autosrv | A simple COM Automation Server, which is used by the example Automation Controller provided within the Autocon folder. (See Figure A.4 for an illustration of this example.) Figure A.4. Demonstration of COM automation using the AutoCon and Autosrv applications.
|
| Canvas | Demonstrates the rotation of lines drawn on a canvas over time. |
| Colordlg | Demonstrates the use of the Color common dialog to change the color of a form. |
| Cursors | An example that demonstrates how to toggle the shape of a cursor. |
| Doodle | A doodle paint program. (See Figure A.5 for an illustration of this example.) Figure A.5. The Doodle program.
|
| FindRep | Demonstrates how to use the Find and Replace Dialogs within a RichEdit application. |
| Header | An example that uses a HeaderControl to resize the objects contained within each column. |
| ImageView | An example application used to navigate a hard disk to view image files (BMP, ICO, WMF, and EMF). |
| IpcDemos | Contains two applications, monitor and client , which demonstrate interprocess communication (IPC) in Win32. Communication is accomplished between these two applications using Threads, Events, Mutexes, and Shared memory. |
| MiniComp | Example of a small, nonvisual counter component. |
| MultiPag | A multipage dialog application that demonstrates the capabilities provided by a TPageControl . |
| OwnerList | This example provides a WYSIWG display of the fonts available on a system demonstrating how to create and use an owner drawn list box. |
| Printing | Demonstrates how to send text within a memo control to a printer. Uses TPrintDialog . |
| ProcView | An example that lists the processes that are running on a machine, and provides the capability to kill them. Uses the Win32 API: EnumWindows() , GetClassName() , GetWIndowText() , and TerminateProcess() . |
| RichEdit | A Rich Text word-processor example very similar to WordPad. Includes an English, French, and Dutch version. (See Figure A.6 for an illustration of this example.) Figure A.6. The RichEdit word processor program.
|
| Scrollbar | Demonstrates the use of a ScrollBar control. |
| Switch | A simple example that demonstrates how to dynamically change event handlers at runtime. |
| SysSound | Enumerates the system sounds installed within Windows and demonstrates how to play them using the Win32 API MessageBeep() . |
| Tab | A multipage dialog application that demonstrates the capabilities provided by a TTabControl . |
| Threads | Demonstrates how to derive a class from TThread to perform three types of sorts: Bubble Sort, Selection Sort, and Quick Sort . |
| TrayIcon | Demonstrates how to place an active icon for an application in the system tray, and toggle the icon's state. |
| TwoForms | A simple application demonstrating how to instantiate and activate a second form on a button clicked from the main form. |
| Wpm | Example test application that measures the number of words per minute you can type. |
