Using Visual C++ class in C++ Builder

[dominochmiel]

Is there any possibility of using microsft visual c++ class (for example CInternetConnection) in C++ Builder.
Thanks for help.

If you have the source code, yes it can but you may to to make some modifications if you are calling some libraries.

If the class is compiled into a library or object file, . . . maybe. There is a program in Builder that will attempt to migrate it to Builder format. The problem is how MS and Borland compile their programs.

Something that might get you is for loop variable scope. Borland allows this:

for (int x=0; x < 10; x++)
{
}

for (int x=1; x < 11; x++) /* Fails in MVC++ */
{
}

Microsoft doesn't. So some programmers may do this, and it won't compile right away on Borland. Just keep it in mind.

for (int x=0; x < 10; x++)
{
}

for (x=1; x < 11; x++) /* No more scope for x in borland */
{
}

u may try a utility that is included in bcb's bin directory to convert ms specific libs to borland compatible. that is called tlib.exe
try that, if u can succeeded then include that newly generated file in ur project, then u can use those ms libs in ur bcb prj
