In C++ Builder, it is easy to use full features of the attached Printer Device by using RTL (Run Time Library) features is that both FMX (FireMonkey) and VCL frameworks provide similar coding and both are capable to use printer dialog which allows users to select and set up printer device.
The printer property ( TPrinter for VCL or TPrinter for FMX ) is used to manage any printing…

If you are looking to a way to reliably determine whether C++ code is being compiled in 32 bits or 64 bits there is way to check in C++ code.
For a cross platform compilation (cross compiler environments like FireMonkey framework in C++ Builder) there is no single reliable method to check if your application is running as a 32bits or 64bits application. Note that lower bits applications (i.e…
Clipboard, also called as the paste buffer, is is a buffer which operating systems provide to copy things (texts, bitmaps, tables etc.) for short term and transfer within and between application programs. The clipboard is usually temporary and unnamed, and its contents…
