can anyone suggest an editor component like RichEdit that supports embedding photos in a delphi app? RichEdit doesn't seem to support this.
am not considering embedding MS Word since not everyone would have that.
than you for your help!
I recomend TRichView http://www.trichview.com/.
I did work with WPTools for long time, but recently I found TRichView a lot more simple to use.
AFAIR the TrxRichEdit from rxlib supported embedding pictures. Since rxlib was incorporated into the jvcl, I guess TJvRichEdit should as well.
I think it should work when you insert bmp files. Other image files are not supported. Maybe you can convert your images to a bitmap first?
If you don't mind paying for a component library, I recommend WP Tools. They have extensive support for document formatting (including inserting images) and provide their library as native VCL package (so you don't have the "what version of Word" conversation).

I want to make an offline iPhone application that can grab text from a picture. Can anyone suggest the best library which I can use. I heard ZBAR and ZXING can be used only for barcode reading. Is there any other OCR Libraries for iOS to read text from images. I expect your valuable suggestions as soon as possible.
Thanks in Advance..!
Currenlty offline OCR is possible only with Tesseract
You can get source code here
Here is the good tutorial about how to use Tesseract
Also you can perform OCR on multiple language. You can dowlnoad other language trained data here
You might want to look here. They offer a large variation of language they can detect and i heard only the best from their framework.
You can also test the framework live: live demo
Unfortunately i think it is very expensive to use this framework. But if you want an A1(all my Breaking Bad fans ;-)) framework this might be your best shot.

I'm searching for a library to edit already existing PDF's and add a watermark to each page, for example. Could also be blank every other page etc.
There seem to be a few PDF libraries out there, but only very few of them can edit existing PDF's and I'm a bit lost on which way to go.
Any recommendations?
Thank you.
You may want to think about using a java library through jruby. I'm not hearing a lot of good things about the PDF libraries for ruby.
Something to think about if you are getting desperate.
I have a prawn branch that has this functionality. Unfortunately it's yet to be merged upstream, but I'm hopeful it will happen soon. For more information, try searching the prawn google group for "templates".

There are quite a few VCLs for Delphi to build reports, so I'd like some feedback on which one to check.
It's just to build a few pages, ie. a microIVS application, so I don't need enterprise-level solutions. I don't expect any open-source tools, but if there's a good one out there...
I know about the following:
Rave Reports, which ships with Delphi 2007
QuickReports (I read that it used to ship with Delphi, but has been replaced by Rave Reports)
FastReports
Report Builder
Crystal Report
Thank you.
My vote goes to Fast Report. We have used Quick Report in Delphi 5 and 7, Rave and List & Label in Delphi 7 (only for a short time), now we are moving to Fast Report which supports Delphi 2009. It is a great product and the support is very good.
There's FreeReport from same company who produced FastReport, if you don't need to much work on reports or complex reports you can use it, and upgrade later to FR.
But my vote for FastReport, it's very easy and you can build the complex reports without a lot of works.
If you don't need anything heavy-duty, why not just go with Rave, seeing as how it's already included with Delphi?
ReportBuilder Standard is feature rich, easy to use and well supported. There are more advanced editions available as well if you need more functionality.
Have a look at report manager at http://reportman.sourceforge.net/

I am just getting back into C++ Bulder after several years.
What's currently the best web-site for free VCL components?
JVCL is the standard free VCL suite.
The Jedi site is great, but my favorite is Torry's Delphi Page, which has lots of components and resources.
(source: torry.net)
Torry is one of the main places you should look for free components. They have hundreds of them (you will have to be able to filter old components and take some other with a pinch of salt).
I use Torry's Delphi Pages a lot and the JVCL too, but for me the best components are Mike Lischke's Soft Gems. There used to be a very nice library called the LVK Components but it was taken over by a company, TwoDesk and have two licenses that you can choose to use (for Commercial and Open Source applications.)
My vote is for LMD Tools. I use the freeware edition all the time in my personal projects, and I've used it in some commercial apps too. I've played a bit with the JVCL, but I don't find it nearly as useful as LMD Tools.
Delphi Super Page - not updated for years but sometimes still useful.

I have to build an application based in an ActiveX library (MIL for Matrox framegrabbers).
The library should be already working, since it compiles and run a console application provided as example. (Yes, the console application is probably not using any ActiveX at all... I actually don't know)
The application will set times, frames per second, etc.
I never used Visual C++ before (I have some poor C programming skills), let alone an ActiveX library. I'm not even able to get an "Ok Cancel" dialog to work...
I need the most basic ever vc6 + ActiveX tutorial.
Thanks in advance.
Here is an example - how to create a control (you already have one) and how to interact with it.
By the way, using VC++ isn't the best choice IMO. Programming of COM clients are much simpler in VB...
