I have a large desktop application developed with CPPBuilder 6.0
Professional. This works on windows- NT, 2000 and Windows XP.
Now I want to port to windows Xp-embedded. My Question is, does windows
xp-embedded support VCL?
Granted I might have to make some GUI modifications to adapt to the new form
factor, but I would likely be able to use my existing code base.
Comments? Has anyone tried running a Borland app on XP embedded?
thanks

There is a section on Borland C++ Mobile Edition 1.1 (210 Mb) that you will
probably want to download.
Good luck!
It's been a while since I have done any BC++.
From memory you should just be able to include the runtime of the VCL
There is no VCL component for XPe that I am aware of

Keep in mind that XPe uses the Windows XP Pro binaries. Any application
that runs on XP Pro should work on XPe, provided, of course, that XPe is
configued with the necessary drivers.
IMOH, Delphi is a vastly superior environment for Windows development.
Object Pascal is an object oriented language that is far more
bulletproof than C++ - fewer opportunities to shoot yourself in the
foot. Microsoft tends to overcomplicate things. The .NET framework,
which I like to refer to as a "flatulent Delphi," requires the
installation of 185 megabytes of bloatware on the end user machine, even
to support simple applcations. MFC is far from straightforward to use.

I use Delphi apps on XPe without problems. Just make sure you have
the components in your image to support any functions you use.
