New Console Application (C++)

Go Up to File Menu

File > New > Other > C++Builder Projects > Console Application

Use this wizard to create a C or C++ application that runs in a console window. Console applications can use nonvisual elements of the VCL and the FireMonkey. (Creating a console application for Delphi does not open this wizard.)

Item	Description
Source Type	Specifies the language to use for the main module of the application. Choices are: C C++
Target Framework	Specifies the framework or library associated with the console application. None No framework is associated with the console application. Visual Component Library Creates an application that can contain VCL components. This option is available only if you choose C++ as your Source Type. Checking this option causes the IDE to #include vcl.h and to change the start-up code and linker options for compatibility with VCL objects. This option implies the use of the Delphi run-time library (RTL) as well. The VCL supports only the Windows target platform. FireMonkey Creates an application that can contain FireMonkey components (multi-device). This option is available only if you choose C++ as your Source Type. Checking this option causes the IDE to #include fmx.h and to change the start-up code and linker options for compatibility with FireMonkey objects. This option implies the use of the Delphi run-time library (RTL) as well. FireMonkey supports all supported target platforms.
Multi Threaded	Specifies more than one thread of execution. This option is required (and grayed) if you select a target framework (Target Framework is not "None").
Console Application	Creates a console window for your application.
Specify project source	Allows you to specify an existing source file for the console application. To specify a source file, check this option and click the button to locate and select a source file.
