C++Builder 10.4 Sydney supports the ISO C++17 standard in the Clang based compilers for Win32 and Win64. Part of the C++17 standard includes the Algorithms library that provides execution policies to support parallel operations. Below you will find a simple VCL example that uses the C++ std::vector and the algorithms library sort and parallel execution policy to sort random integers in the…
Handling the OnChange event handler on a TEdit is great until you programmatically change the text and trigger your OnChange event handler again. It gets really fun if you have two TEdit boxes that update each other in their OnChange event handler. I was reading Automate…
