C++ Builder

[Farshad Mohajeri]

Here you will find first uniGUI build with C++ Builder support.

 

Installation instructions are similar to Delphi with some exceptions:

 

1. You must open group project in RAD Studio IDE.
2. Before doing anything, for each package go to Options->Linker and Select/Set Generate all C++Builder Files.
3. Now build all packages.
4. Install all design time packages.
5. Now you must be able to see uniGUI for C++ Builder in File->New->Other...
6. After starting a new C++ project you must disable Linker->Dynamic RTL
7. For unknown reasons building with Run Time Packages doesn't work properly. You must statically link all libs and create a single EXE. (Simply unselect Build with runtime packages option.)
8. New C++ projects are created without a resource (.RES) file. As a result project has no default Icon. I will try to fix this in new releases.
9. Currently there are no demos for C++ Builder.
10. uniGUI C++ Projects are only tested with C++ Builder 2007 and 2009, but logically you must be able to install uniGUI and create C++ projects in all C++ Builder versions up to XE2.
11. Combo VCL/ISAPI projects are not supported for C++ Builder.

Please report all bugs and issues specific to C++ Builder here in this thread.

 

Thanks

In RAD Studio XE2:

1.You must open group project in RAD Studio IDE.

Yes.

2.Before doing anything, for each package go to Options->Linker and Select/Set Generate all C++Builder Files.

Yes.

3.Now build all packages.

Yes.

4.Install all design time packages.

Yes.

5.Now you must be able to see uniGUI for C++ Builder in File->New->Other...

See picture. uniGUI only for Delphi...

I've forgotten to erase above code. I'll update the installer.

[Farshad Mohajeri]

Completely uninstall previous version. Install build 940 (download from same link). It should work with all versions.

Thank you.

 

 

 

I am reinstalling uniGUI. Add path and directories to hpp files.

Start new project in C++ Builder XE2 and try to Run:

[BCC32 Error] Main.cpp(9): E2177 Redeclaration of #pragma package with different arguments

 

Here:

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#include <vcl.h>
#include <UniGUIVars.hpp>
#pragma hdrstop

#include "Main.h"
#include "MainModule.cpp"
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#pragma package(smart_init)//<---------------HERE
#pragma resource "*.dfm"
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TMainForm *MainForm(void)
{
  return( (TMainForm *)UniMainModule()->GetFormInstance(__classid(TMainForm)));
}
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
__fastcall TMainForm::TMainForm(TComponent* Owner)
	: TUniForm(Owner)
{
}
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
void __RegisterMainFormClass() {
 Uniguivars::RegisterMainFormClass(__classid(TMainForm));
}

#pragma startup __RegisterMainFormClass

Installer should automatically add all required paths to IDE.

Does it compile if you remove the above line?

[Farshad Mohajeri]

#include "MainModule.cpp"

Above line actually should be:

 

#include "MainModule.h"

[Farshad Mohajeri]

#include "MainModule.cpp"

Above line actually should be:

 

#include "MainModule.h"

 

Try correcting above line and it should compile OK.

I add manually because IDE can’t find UniGUIVars.hpp and UniGUIVars.obj

 

#include "MainModule.h"

After change project start but I got:

---------------------------

Project Project2uni.exe raised exception class $C0000005 with message 'access violation at 0x00664197: read of address 0x00000000'.

---------------------------

 

I will try tomorrow in C++ Builder 2009.

Have you modified this?

 

After starting a new C++ project you must disable Linker->Dynamic RTL

[Farshad Mohajeri]

and this:

 

For unknown reasons building with Run Time Packages doesn't work properly. You must statically link all libs and create a single EXE. (Simply unselect Build with runtime packages option.)

[Lena]

Have you modified this?

 

Linker->Dynamic RTL = false.

[Lena]

Simply unselect Build with runtime packages option.

 

Bingo! Project start. I see main form.

Thank you very much!

What paths you needed to add?

All of required paths should be already there.

[Lena]

What paths you needed to add?

All of required paths should be already there.

 

The problem is that uniGUI install by default here:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Документы\FMSoft\Framework

 

 

But in Russian Windows IDE C++ Builder can’t find this path because Cyrillic alphabets -> Документы

I must reinstall in other path and copy hpp folder in other place and add new paths in IDE.

Library path:

C:\Framework\uniGUI\Dcu

Include path:

C:\Framework\uniGUI\Dcu\hpp

***

 

This no problem uniGUI. The problem in Cyrillic alphabets.

[Farshad Mohajeri]

I see.

 

Perhaps we need to find a better default location for installation.

[Bob]

I install new version 0.88.1.943 in C++ Builder XE2 Update 4. Thank you for the new version.

 

P.S.

I have the same problem with paths because my Windows folder Documents is not English.

[Lena]

We install _0.89.0.950. Thank you very much!

Please add in the future one demo for C++ Builder (eg. FishFacts). We need an officially example for our C++ students who plan to study web projects with uniGUI framework.

I really don't know why there is a path problem in Russian Windows.

 

Regardless of the language, uniGUI path should be this:

 

C:\Users\Public\Documents\FMSoft\Framework

 

Which I believe should be same for all languages.

 

BTW, What is your OS? Maybe XP uses a different scheme.

I'm planning to port some of our demos to C++.

[Bob]

Yes in Russian Windows XP:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Документы\FMSoft\Framework

 

In Russian W7:

C:\Users\Public\Documents\

[Farshad Mohajeri]

Yes in Russian Windows XP:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Документы\FMSoft\Framework

 

In Russian W7:

C:\Users\Public\Documents\

 

In next build everything will be installed under "\program files" folder.
