    classes don't show in class explorer on other pc

    The class explorer is not part of the Home package, just the Professional and Enterprise version of BCB. (Well ,with BCB 5 anyway). That may be your problem :)

    AnsiString to UTF8?

    WideString != UTF8 sadly. I have solved the problem now by writing my own routine to convert from WideString to UTF8 and vice-versa. UTF8 uses the first few bit's of a byte to identify how many bytes are in that character (as a character may be 1 to 5 bytes long) whereas WideString is always 2...

    AnsiString to UTF8?

    UTF8 (UCS Transformation Format 8 bit) is a way of representing non-latin characters. In the same way that WideStrings can contain chinese, korean and japanese etc characters, so can UTF8. UTF8 is used by many programs to transfer these non-latin characters accross networks (in my case, I need...

    Hi, I am trying to write a unicode application for windows, but not having much luck. I noticed that on Internet Explorer (and other windows programs, even the 'Run' box) you can paste in double-byte characters (chinese in this case, I ctrl-c the text from Yahoo! Hong Kong website). The text...

    Hi All, I am having serious problems with the ftp part of a program I am writing. I have a several TClientSocket, the first of which connects to the control port (21) of the ftp server.

    TStringGrid causes program termination

    Yes, I did use the debuger to check which line was causing the termination. It was always the first line that writes a string to any cell on the 3rd row of the StringGrid (I have 1 fixed row at the top). I have plenty of memory spare at the time too. I can't figure it out! Moonchild
