I know you can use C++ Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs) in Delphi so try finding out more info on that...I'm afraid I don't know a lot about it. I'm not sure if you can use the C++ objects though but you can definitely call routines from a DLL.

I assume with C++ code you do not mean C++ Builder but Visual C++.

If you want to go for Delphi all the way, you have no other choice than to rewrite your existing source C++ source to Delphi.

An in between solution would be to compile your code into obj files and export that in a header file, and link those with your Delphi application.

Then you could use a DLL like suggested but that wouln`t be too flexible a solution.

Maybe another tip is using C++ builder, it compiles your existing C++ and you can write Pascal / Delphi code in it as well

Good luck.

Borland did supply two DOS utilities 'PasToC' and 'CToPas' with the older 'Turbo' range of compilers, I dont know how useful these would be here.

another way is to make COM objects from your C++ objects and use them in Delphi.
