Anyone know if TV3D_65 is compatible with the C++ Builder portion of CodeGear RAD Studio? Or has anyone gotten it to work with it (If it's not compatible that is). I'm REALLY hoping to switch to Borland's C++ for Windows C programming as, from what I've seen so far, it has FAR less headaches than the whole behemoth of Microsoft's take on C that is "managed" and "unmanaged" mess. VCL doesn't seem to descriminate, meaning I can use native C++ and still get access to events and form design. I know things like calling conventions can hamper compatibility but I seen a place in the IDE to change it to various other settings. So far what I did was I did an Import Package as TLB and had it generate the necessary header files, (But it created cpp files, which has declarations in them, not sure how to include cpp files?) It seemed at first to work except now it thinks that TVEngine is invalidly using typedef. So I'm thinking it probably has something to do with the generated file which in turn has something to do with the calling conventions.
On a side note: What is the deal with Borland and CodeGear, did CG buyout Borland or is it something like all of Borland's development products are listed under the CodeGear title (synonomous with Microsoft's Office label)?

I beleive CodeGear bought Borland, but I never actually read up on it or anything. Anyway, the answer to your question is "no, it's not compatible". Or at least, many have tried and failed in the past
