Question:
I want to convert some code written in Paradox to Delphi. I am mainly interested in a quick method rather than the usual method. The code deals
with the GUI that is the front end; I am not interested in converting the SQL.
Any suggestions?
Answer:
I'm not quite sure what you mean by "the usual method." As far as mimicking
GUI operations is concerned, you're better off just putting Delphi and
Paradox side by side and matching the look and feel. There is no "quick fix"
that I know of, and if you were to attempt to discover one, you'd spend more
time messing around with the mechanics of that problem than solving your
original problem.
Besides, Delphi is so much easier for GUI programming than Paradox
that I don't see why you want to take a "shortcut" in the first place.
