However, it states "VCL has good but not perfect compatibility with Win32 Delphi..." As I wrote before, the VCL is being phased out, and backwards VCL compatibility is not an issue for Borland management. -- Mark Jacobs DK Computing http://www.dkcomputing.co.uk Back to top OBones Guest Posted: Wed Nov 24, 2004 2:46 pm    Post subject: Re: Delphi 2005 VCL support Mark Jacobs wrote: Quote: I am reading an article in the current SIGS ADA, which reviews (favourably) the new Delphi 2005 release.

Stop stating lies about Borland and Borland's direction. Future posts like this will be canceled without warning.

The fact that you repeat it doesn't make it true. -- Rudy Velthuis [TeamB] " The best way to predict the future is to invent it." -- Alan Kay Back to top Mark Jacobs Guest Posted: Wed Nov 24, 2004 10:56 pm    Post subject: Re: Delphi 2005 VCL support Thank heaven for that.

Diamondback VCL really does appear to have some inconsistencies with the old VCL - let's hope the changes are all improvements. -- Mark Jacobs DK Computing http://www.dkcomputing.co.uk "OBones" <obones_grere_ (AT) _gregr_altern (DOT) org> wrote Quote: Isn't it ".Net VCL" versus "Win32 VCL"?

Name two versions of the VCL that were 100% compatible? Hint - you can't. Borland has always been willing to sacrifice a little bit of backwards compatibility for improvements or bug fixes in the VCL. They don't do it excessively, but if needed they do break backwards compatibility. You seem to be indicating that this policy is different in D2005 than in previous versions, but it is the exact same policy. -- Jeff Overcash (TeamB) (Please do not email me directly unless asked. Thank You) A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.
