Just starting with BCB, but finding stuff in the online reference is not working for me, I still work better with hard copy. Thanks in advance Michael Back to top Pete Fraser Guest Posted: Wed May 09, 2007 1:23 pm    Post subject: Re: Borland VCL Reference Book On Amazon: Sams Teach Yourself Borland C++ Builder 3 in 21 Days (Sams Teach Yourself) is a good start - yes it's an old version of BCB but still valid. Borland C++ Builder 6 Developer's Guide by Jarrod Hollingworth, Bob Swart, Paul Gustavson, and Mark Cashman carries on from this -- HTH Pete ================================= www.frasersoft.net GenHelp: "Making writing help fun" <woodguy23701 (AT) remov (DOT) yahoo.com> wrote in message news:mR30i.7690$pW5.3431@trnddc07...

But like anything it can only contain so much. I'm hoping to find a VCL reference guide. One that lists about all the component types, and their properties and methods. A book that list something like EditBox has the following properties, and the following methods, then explains what each is or does. I know it has to be out there, "everyone" is using VCL, so they must have learned it somewhere. Thank you for your response Michael Back to top Pete Fraser Guest Posted: Wed May 09, 2007 4:54 pm    Post subject: Re: Borland VCL Reference Book I learnt it by going through the help file with a form and seeing what happened. The BCB6 help file was pretty good at describing what happened - especially if you ignore inherited properties. I haven't seen a VCL book - but I guess that one would be useful. Perhaps I ought to write one and publish on LuLu Pete <woodguy23701 (AT) remov (DOT) yahoo.com> wrote in message news:%Rh0i.6174$83.4351@trndny08...
