- The title of this article is incorrect because of technical limitations. The correct title is C++Builder.
C++Builder is a popular rapid application development (RAD) environment produced by Borland for writing programs in the C++ programming language. It bears close resemblance to Delphi, and as a result many consider it to be a C++ version of Delphi. Most components developed in Delphi can be used in C++Builder with no modification, although the reverse is not true.
C++Builder includes tools that allow true drag-and-drop visual development, making programming easier by incorporating a WYSIWYG GUI builder into its IDE.
Other popular visual RAD tools include Delphi, JBuilder and C#Builder from Borland, and Visual Basic from Microsoft.
C++Builder originally targeted only the Microsoft Windows platform. Later versions incorporated Borland CLX, a cross-platform development visual component library that supports Windows and Linux.
In 2003 Borland introduced the successor to C++Builder, C++BuilderX, which was written using the same framework as JBuilder and bore little resemblance to either C++Builder or Delphi. This product was aimed at developing large programs for enterprises. However, it did not have much commercial success. As a result, Borland announced at the end of 2004 that the next version of C++Builder will be part of Delphi.
