On this page, you can find a couple of simple-to-understand examples of how to code next-generation applications using the combination of C++ Builder, DirectX and the TDx_Library...
-: play 2 sounds at the same time... um... easy... TDx_Sound_Library :- 
Write a complete (simple) TDx_Library application mixing C++ Builder & DirectX and play (2) .wav files simultaneously, writing just (6) lines of >simple< code... no bugs... And your application works perfectly on all computers running the Windows OS and DirectX 7 or better... first time, every time... Complete with realtime mixing, realtime format conversion, standard file formats, and so on... Example: 1.. BCBx->File->New Application 2.. Drop a TButton and a TDx_Sound and (2) TDx_SoundBuffer components onto the form 3.. Double-Click on the TButton, type the following code :- #pragma link "TDx_Sound_Library_Install" void __fastcall TForm1::Button1Click(TObject* Sender) { // create an interface to the default sound hardware if (Dx_Sound1->Create(NULL)) { // create sound buffer # 1 from a file if (Dx_SoundBuffer1->CreateFromFile(Dx_Sound1,"Example1.wav")) Dx_SoundBuffer1->Play(0,0); // playback buffer1 // create sound buffer # 2 from a different file if (Dx_SoundBuffer2->CreateFromFile(Dx_Sound1,"Example2.wav")) Dx_SoundBuffer2->Play(0,0); // playback buffer2 } } 4.. Finally... that was too hard... Press [F9] to compile and run the application... Total time: 30-60 seconds. start to finish... including compile time... for a fully functioning DirectX application playing (2) .wav files simultaneously A huge thumbs-up for RAD DirectX programming... ... Now think about this :- Total time: days and days (weeks) of very hard work... if it works... For example, can you personally patch the actual DirectX SDK to make it work properly? A colossal thumbs-down for "normal" DirectX programming... YUK... so painful... what a very serious waste of time and effort and money...
-: display an image on the full-screen... um... easy... TDx_Draw_Library :- 
Write a complete (simple) TDx_Library application mixing C++ Builder & DirectX and display a .bmp file on the screen, full-screen, writing just (6) lines of >simple< code... no bugs... And your application works perfectly on all computers running the Windows OS and DirectX 7 or better... first time, every time... Complete with realtime stretching, pixel format conversion, standard file formats, and so on... Example: 1.. BCBx->File->New Application 2.. Drop a TButton and a TDx_Draw and (2) TDx_DrawSurface components onto the form 3.. Drop a TDDSurfaceDesc and a TDDSCaps component onto the form 4.. Open the Object Inspector [F11] and link the DDSurfaceDesc1::SCaps property to the DDSCaps1 component 5.. Using the Object Inspector, setup DDSCaps1::Caps to be DDSCAPS_PRIMARYSURFACE 6.. Double-Click on the TButton, type the following code :- #pragma link "TDx_Draw_Library_Install" void __fastcall TForm1::Button1Click(TObject* Sender) { // create interface to video hardware, primary display device if (Dx_Draw1->Create(NULL)) { // make sure we have exclusive access to this device Dx_Draw1->SetCooperativeLevel( Application->Handle, DDSCL_FULLSCREEN | DDSCL_EXCLUSIVE ); // create a primary surface if (Dx_DrawSurface1->Create( DDSurfaceDesc1, Dx_Draw1)) // create an offscreen surface from a file if (Dx_DrawSurface2->CreateFromFile( Dx_Draw1, "TEST.BMP" )) // display the test image while stretching it to fit the entire screen Dx_DrawSurface1->Blt( NULL, Dx_DrawSurface2, NULL, 0, NULL ); } } 7.. Finally... that was too hard... Press [F9] to compile and run the application... Total time: 30-60 seconds. start to finish... including compile time... for a fully functioning DirectX application displaying a .bmp image full-screen Another huge thumbs-up for RAD DirectX programming... ... Now think about this :- Total time: days and days (weeks) of very hard work... if it works... For example, can you personally patch the actual DirectX SDK to make it work properly? Another colossal thumbs-down for "normal" DirectX programming... YUK... so painful... what a very serious waste of time and effort and money... Visit our Demos Page and download a whole bunch of working applications, with many all-new Demos and Application Templates with fully documented Source Code currently under development for use with the upcoming TDx_Library v1.90++... Online TDx_Library Demos + Source Code and Online TDx_Draw_Library Demos + Source Code and Online TDx_Sound_Library Demos + Source Code and Online TDx_Input_Library Demos + Source Code and Online TDx_Play_Library Demos + Source Code and Online TDx_3DI_Library Demos + Source Code and Ask us and we may be able to write a customized demo for you... Press [F1], there's all relevant information at your fingertips, instantly, just like in the... Online TDx_Draw_Library Component Knowledgebase and Online TDx_Sound_Library Component Knowledgebase and Online TDx_Input_Library Component Knowledgebase and Online TDx_Play_Library Component Knowledgebase and Online TDx_3DI_Library Component Knowledgebase and Online Component Reference... The idea is similar to the TDx_Library, but without the comprehensive knowledgebase at your every [F1] keypress... Nothing compares to having all help immediately available, in straightforward english, saving many hours of searching and navigating hard-to-use and hard-to-understand SDK knowledgebases, saving countless thousands of hours of valuable programming time, making you ultra-productive as a programmer... everything is at your fingertips... And the TDx_Library is superior... if you use Managed DirectX, your application will only run at 60% of the speed of the TDx_Library at best... There are too many benefits to list when comparing the use of the TDx_Library and Borland C++ Builder and DirectX to all other programming environments... other environments simply do not stack up... It's all about RAD enabled productivity... imagine saving 90%++ of your programming time, immediately, without having to spend weeks learning a complex SDK first... if your boss isn't happy with the results, we'll be hogwashed... Take a good, long, hard look around this website and see for yourself just how simple and powerful the TDx_Library is... Then register, start using the TDx_Library, and make brilliant results in minutes... Note: If you have ever used Visual Basic or C# or Visual C/C++ or C++ Builder or DirectX or Delphi, or even if you are just thinking of using them... take a good look around this website... you will be surprised at the advanced programming tools available here... We will save you thousands of man-hours and hundreds of thousands of dollars... the wheel has been re-invented... and you can now get your hands on the most advanced programming toolset ever created... for very little money... "An incredibly cost-effective off-the-shelf software solution..." Or, If you have ever struggled for months & years on end to develop your technology, only to see it outdated or outmoded by other fast-changing industry developments, for example, when everyone went from DOS to Windows a lot of people lost BIG on their software investments... same for each upgrade of DirectX... Well, this time you are in for a nice surprise... "your dreams have become reality..." Source code developed using different versions of the TDx_Library is backwards-compatible for the most part. Your v1.6x source code will work with v1.7x and v1.8x++ without any changes...
