<DL>
	<DT></DT>
	<DD><B>1. </B>How do you load a DLL using static loading?
	<P>
	<DT></DT>
	<DD>In your calling application declare any functions or procedures contained in

	<P>
	<DT></DT>
	<DD><B>2. </B>How do you load a DLL using dynamic loading?
	<P>
	<DT></DT>

	in your DLL can be called from outside the DLL?
	<P>
	<DT></DT>
	<DD>The function or procedure must be exported from the DLL. Place the function or
	procedure name in the exports section of the DLL.
	<P>
	<DT></DT>
	<DD><B>5. </B>In the case of a DLL that has been dynamically loaded, can you unload
	the DLL at any time or only when the program closes?
	<P>
	<DT></DT>
	<DD>You can unload the DLL any time you want (using the FreeLibrary function).
	<P>
	<DT></DT>
	<DD><B>6. </B>What must you do to display a Delphi form contained in a DLL from a
	non-Delphi program?
	<P>
	<DT></DT>
	<DD>Create an exported function that the calling application can call. In this function,
	create the form and display it. Be sure the function is declared with the stdcall
	keyword.
	<P>
	<DT></DT>
	<DD><B>7. </B>What is the name of the keyword used to declare functions and procedures
	imported from a DLL?

	directive--for example,

<DL>
	<DT></DT>
	<DD><B>9. </B>Does a resource DLL need to contain code as well as the resources?
	<P>
	<DT></DT>
	<DD>No. A resource DLL doesn't need any code.
	<P>
	<DT></DT>
	<DD><B>10. </B>Can a DLL containing resources be loaded statically (when the program
	loads)?
	<P>
	<DT></DT>
	<DD>It's possible, but there's rarely any reason to load a resource DLL statically.
	You need the return value from LoadLibrary to access resources in the DLL, so you
	might as well use dynamic loading for resource DLLs.
	<P>

<H2><A NAME="Heading18"></A>Day 20</H2>

<DL>
	<DT></DT>
	<DD><B>1. </B>Must a property use a write method? Why or why not?
	<P>
	<DT></DT>
	<DD>No. You can use direct access instead.
	<P>
	<DT></DT>
	<DD><B>2. </B>Must a property have an underlying data field? Why or why not?
	<P>
	<DT></DT>
	<DD>No, a property doesn't have to have an underlying data field, but most properties
	usually do. A property that doesn't store a value is unusual.
	<P>
	<DT></DT>
	<DD><B>3. </B>Can you create a component by extending an existing component?
	<P>
	<DT></DT>
	<DD>Absolutely. That's the easiest way to create a new component.
	<P>
	<DT></DT>
	<DD><B>4. </B>What happens if you don't specify a write specifier (either a write
	method or direct access) in a property's declaration?
	<P>
	<DT></DT>
	<DD>The property becomes read-only.
	<P>
	<DT></DT>
	<DD><B>5. </B>What does direct access mean?
	<P>
	<DT></DT>
	<DD>The underlying data member for the property is modified and/or read directly
	(no read method and no write method).
	<P>
	<DD><B>6. </B>Must your properties have a default value? Why or why not?
	<DT></DT>
	<DD>No, default values for properties are optional. Published properties should have
	a default value, though. Properties that are string properties cannot have a default
	value (and some other types of properties as well).
	<P>
	<DT></DT>
	<DD><B>7. </B>Does the default value of the property set the underlying data field's
	value automatically?
	<P>
	<DT></DT>
	<DD>No, the default value only displays a value in the Object Inspector at design
	time. You must set the underlying data member to the default value in the component's
	constructor.
	<P>
	<DT></DT>
	<DD><B>8. </B>How do you install a component on the Component Palette?
	<P>
	<DT></DT>
	<DD>Choose Component | Install from the main menu.
	<P>
	<DT></DT>
	<DD><B>9. </B>How do you specify the button bitmap that your component will use on
	the Component Palette?
	<P>
	<DT></DT>
	<DD>Create a .dcr file with the same name as the component's source. The .dcr should
	contain a 24&#165;24 bitmap with the same name as the component's classname. Be sure
	that the .dcr is in the same directory as the .pas file for the component.
	<P>
	<DT></DT>
	<DD><B>10. </B>How do you trigger a user-defined event?
	<P>
	<DT></DT>
	<DD>Just call the event after checking whether an event handler exists for the event:

	<P>
	<DT></DT>
	<DD>No, Delphi and C++Builder project files do not have the same filename extension.

	<DT></DT>
	<DD><B>3. </B>Can you use packages from third-party component vendors in both Delphi
	and C++Builder?
	<P>
	<DT></DT>
	<DD>In most cases, you can use packages from third-party component vendors in both
	Delphi and C++Builder. In some cases, the packages will have to be rebuilt with C++Builder.
	Ask the component vendor for packages compatible with C++Builder.
	<P>
	<DT></DT>
	<DD><B>4. </B>Can you open a Delphi form file in C++Builder?
	<P>
	<DT></DT>

	form.
	<P>
	<DT></DT>
	<DD><B>5. </B>Can you edit a Delphi form file using the C++Builder Form Designer?
	<P>
	<DT></DT>
	<DD>No, you cannot edit a Delphi form file using the C++Builder Form Designer. However,
	you can edit the Delphi form as text by choosing View As Text from the C++Builder
	context menu.
	<P>
	<DT></DT>
	<DD><B>6. </B>Can you use a C++Builder source unit in Delphi?
	<P>

	Delphi.
	<P>
	<DT></DT>
	<DD><B>7. </B>Which is better, Delphi or C++Builder?
	<P>
	<DT></DT>
	<DD>Neither Delphi or C++Builder is better. Both have their strengths. It depends
	largely on whether you prefer Pascal or C++.
