Question: How do I create a "Hello World" DOS console application using C++Builder? I have used other Borland compilers to do this, but the code does not seem to work with C++Builder. Answer: The first step is to bring up a text-edit window using the Console Wizard. Detailed instructions can be in the following FAQ:
To bring up the text-edit window you need:
Choose the options you want and press Enter. For example, in Borland C++Builder 5 one might uncheck "Use VCL" and choose to specify the source for the project. The window will open with source code that looks very similar to what is shown below: //---------------------#include #pragma hdrstop //--------------------- #pragma argsused int main(int argc, char* argv[]) \{ return 0; \} //--------------------- Modify the code so it looks like the following: //---------------------#include #pragma hdrstop //--------------------- int main(void) \{ cout<<"Hello World!"; //prints text to the screen getch(); //keeps the window on the screen return 0; \} //--------------------- When you have finished typing in the code and checking it for errors, press F9 or single click the green arrow on the toolbar to compile and run your application. |
