C++ Most Active Threads

I am contemplating learning Java. I have exposure to C++, and a registered owner of CBuilder 3.0 Pro. But my exposure is barely past following examples in C++Builder Unleashed. Kind of like "I know how to turn it on and do seven things.", , If I want to stay simple and do discrete stuff on Win 98 where the data sources are everyday Win Office-like apps (includes HTML and XML docs), then C++Builder or JBuilder?, , Over the years, I have mainly "programmed" near the user interface levels. Ie. Lotus 123 macros, Torbo Pascal 3.0 matrixes (only for string manipulation, no numerical analysis involved), {Paradox, Lotus 123, Quattro Pro, WordPerfect} homomorphic transformations (I moved data between the applications - not always exact, but close enough to fix easily), Excel VBA, Crystal Reports on SQL 7.0, and even octal-based translations of dates, number, and strings on a HP 48SX (my favorite computer!). , , So I'm a generalist. I played with different projects of my own design at home, and ...

I have several questions, if you could answer even one of them (and preferably more if possible) that would be much appreciated. My questions are for an MDI application (Windows type, using mostly MDI parent and children) made in Borland C++ Builder (version 6, Pro.), using a combination of C and C++ code (about 15,000+ lines), , 1. How can I change the Main (parent) formÆs menu bar (which has File, Edit, Window, etc)? Please answer for changing both File and the stuff under it (e.g. Close, Save, etc)., , 2. How can I create the HELP menu for my program? Ideally, IÆd like to have a Help menu item similar to that which BCB itself has, but would like to at least has some sort of text searching capability for the user, , 3. How can I check if the user entered a file of type .txt or .log, or of another type?, , 4. How can I add the standard MS Windows upper RH-corner stuff (the minimize, maximize, and close buttons like in Word) to a form that doesnÆt seem to automatically have them? (all ...

I am interested in creating a commercial application where performance is of the utmost. Having developed in Java for a while, I realize its limitations in that arena. However, this application will have to initially run on both a Windows and Linux platform with possible ports to other OS's in the future., , If anyone could suggest a development platform that provides a robust threading model, collection classes, sockets and database connectivity, is fast and will be supported in the future, I would greatly appreciate your input., , Andreas

I have a small C program that reads in a file and prints out the contents fine. The problem is with sorting that data and getting it to print. What prints out is garbage information, but what numbers of garbage that are printed are sorted, if that helps. Please let me know what I'm missing. I'm using a simple bubble sort and the code is roughly 50 lines. I'm not sure where the data being sorted is coming from, but basically, I need to know how to read in from a file and sort that information to print/or write to another file. Please help !!

I have been looking for a few weeks now for a chatserver example in C and can't find one that works for BCB 5.5.  I can find C++ servers but none that are in C that actually works for BCB.  Can someone point me in the right direction?  I wish to connect a database to a console program, but would like the code to be C based and not C++ ( I hear it is faster in regular ansi C).  Thank you in advance!

How to write the class such that it should not be inherited by other class.

Hello Mike

Hi All, I've been having some fun trying to change the BDE 'block size' during run time. I need to generate large answer tables and I don't want to drag every user though the BDE Administrator. I have no access to their machines other than my software. I like the idea of only modifying the settings when my program is running instead of changing their idapi.cfg file.  "rptSession" is a TSession component in the below example. TStringList* tsl = new TStringList(); rptSession->GetConfigParams("\CONFIGURATION\DRIVERS\NATIVE\PARADOX\%s","BLOCK SIZE",tsl);, I can compile, and no matter what permutation of path I dictate, the engine can't find the parameter that I specify. I want to read the current block size, then modify it while the session is active. Thanks in Advance! Jim Shedden

Is there any way to make the TogetherSoft package take C instead of C++? If not is there any other package I can get that builds UML diagrams and so forth for C?
