I have an instance of C++ builder XE-5 which was installed years ago and hasn't been touched for quite a while. I need to create a new application and have forgotten everything about how to get a project up, the help documentation for that platform isn't the easiest to navigate, to say the least. The closest I've come to is a demo on Youtube, that says to create a VCL application - on my installation that isn't available, only a VCL forms application. I've tried to find out what a VCL forms application is, but once again the IDE help system just seems to assume that you already know that. So my question is simple: Will a VCL forms application do what I want, which is to create a basic GUI screen and run some C++ code behind it? Also, what's the essential difference between the two project types?
