Can Delphi 3 (or 4 for that matter) convert c++ header files to Pascal or is
this just a dumb question?

Thanks

Delphi can't do it, but there are several utilities that can do a good job.
Unfortunately none of these will do a *perfect* job but it is not usually
too hard to do manual corrections when required.

You may find that many C/C++ API libraries are already converted for you -
e.g. the DirectX headers freely available around the net.

Dr Bob's Delphi clinic have a CONVHDR.EXE utility.  You should download it
from there.

Also try the Delphi-JEDI project for pre-translations of popular headers.
http://www.delphi-jedi.org/
They also have a FAQ about translating header files.

Hi Conor,

Actually, my tool is called HeadConv (I believe CONVHDR was from Peter
Sawatski), and the accompanying paper can be found on my website if you click on
the link for "electronic papers" and select the "Using C DLLs with Delphi"
paper.

Groetjes,
