- It is ideally suited to converting entire sections of the Win32 SDK into standardized C++ Builder component libraries, in fact, anything that's based on the Component Object Model (COM) standard can fairly easily be wrapped into much easier to use C++ Builder RAD component libraries.
For example, we use the BCB_Code_Generator to convert the entire DirectDraw API into the much easier to use TDx_Draw_Library, and the same for convert the DirectSound API to the TDx_Sound_Library, and DirectInput to the TDx_Input_Library, and so on. - You can use it to convert the MAPI, LDAP, MMedia, etc. sections of the Win32 SDK into much easier to use VCL style component libraries, suitable for rapid application development and code re-use.
- It creates standardised Borland C++ Builder VCL source code, project files, batch files, help files, html documentation, and ships with example databases used to create the TDx_Library.

... The TDx_Library is a series of Borland C++ Builder components which translate and wrap entire subsections of the Microsoft DirectX 7.0a SDK into easy-to-use VCL component libraries. These component libraries are very easy to understand since they look and feel like the standard Borland C++ Builder (BCB) Visual Component Library (VCL) components, even to the point of supplying standard BCB types, properties, methods, OnXXX() events - and [F1] instant help. Each library "wraps" an entire subsection of the DirectX 7.0a SDK and literally everything available in that subsection of DirectX has been translated to work seamlessly within the BCB VCL environment, all while supplying access to the raw DirectX layer underneath. All the power of DirectDraw(tm), DirectSound(tm), DirectInput(tm), DirectPlay(tm) and Direct3DI(tm) working like normal Borland C++ Builder VCL components.
