OVERVIEW The new *.pas files contain the function declarations for the Visual CADD API v3.0.1. See below for a listing of new calls. All these calls, except for the 'BP' calls discussed below, are included in the various *.pas files familiar to the Delphi programmer. For the BP calls, a new *.pas file is introduced, VCLink32.pas, and must be included in any project where you are going to code with these new BP calls. NEW BP CALLS Delphi requires functions to pass user-defined data types by pointer, and not by value. To get around this limitation, the VCADD API has functions that are distinguished by 'BP' being appended to the end of the function name. Previous versions of the VCADD API included several functions which passed user-defined data types only by value, and not by pointer, so they were not available to the Delphi developer. The VCADD API v3.0.1 has added several previously missing 'by pointer' functions in VCLink32.DLL. These newly added functions are not available in the original VCADD API DLLs (VCMain32.DLL, etc.), but only through the VCLink32.DLL that is shipped with the 3.0.1 SDK. If you use these BP calls in your code, you must ship the VCLink32.DLL with your application to your customers in order for the calls to work. The VCLink32.DLL that is included as part of this Delphi SDK is newer than the one that shipped with Visual CADD 3.0 or the 3.0.1 VCADD patch.
