I was hoping to try more native Windows type programming, but I'm wondering how do you guys get info on the Builder API's? I'm guessing the IDE has coverage of these in help files etc? For the free command line compiler am I just stuck trawling through the library source code(!)?

The free command line compiler is pretty old now. You'd probably be better off with the free MS Visual C++ toolkit or almost free? CBuilderX personal - which has a nice looking IDE and version 2 coming out sometime apparently, (don't know if CBX 2 will have a free personal version though) http://www.borland.com/cbuilderx/ http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/ You can order a Micorsoft platform SDK CD here for a nominal amount which has all the Win32 API info. (or you can download it all) https://qmedia.e-storefront.com/showcontent.asp?contentname=PlatformSDKHome Graeme Back to top Jeffrey Spoon Guest Posted: Sun Oct 17, 2004 2:59 pm    Post subject: Re: Getting API info In message <6je4n0hj695v54b9qjpaap34ed7namphb5 (AT) 4ax (DOT) com>, Graeme Prentice <invalid (AT) yahoo (DOT) co.nz> writes Quote: What do you mean by Builder APIs? Just the libraries used by the Borland compiler. Basically the documentation to use them. Quote: The free command line compiler is pretty old now.

CBuilderX personal - which has a nice looking IDE and version 2 coming out sometime apparently, (don't know if CBX 2 will have a free personal version though) I didn't realise CBX had a free version. I see the personal version says "free personal trial" so I assumed it would expire. I am dloading it now though, thanks for the link.

To be honest I'm not too bothered if it isn't up to the minute, but reasonably new is fine.
