This site is dedicated to Borland C++ Builder, the Visual Component Library, and those of us who have come to love it, even to think that it is the best thing since the Sneakers bar. Here, we provide lessons, guides, and links on how to take advantage of this finely defined programming environment.

Good news folks, C++ Builder 2007 has been released.

Applications

This section gives examples of using various Windows control with each application illustrating one particular control.
Operations
This fundamental application illustrates the use of radio buttons to perform simple arithmetic operations such as the addition, the subtraction, the multiplication and the division.
