Borland DLL Explorer

When building new applications programmers have countless variables to take into consideration and any tool that can help make things easier is surely appreciated.

When dealing with Borland libraries, for example, it would be great to know which component is suited for a certain task and by taking a quick peek inside it, developers could do that easily. A utility that is meant to be of assistance in such cases is Borland DLL Explorer, as it is specialized in that particular type of libraries.

As soon as you get the package containing this application, you will discover that it can be deployed right out of the box, without requiring installation and configuration. This is great because Borland DLL Explorer is clearly suited for portable use and this is a major advantage for any tool of this kind.

The GUI is almost bare to the bone as it sports a single button, namely the one you will use to load the dynamic link library (DLL) files that have to be examined. There are several areas in which the main window is split, so the information concerning the contents of the DLLs is presented in a well organized manner.

Operating this software is a breeze and inspecting the Borland classes and functions is a fast process. Once the DLL is loaded, from the list of 'Imports' you can select an item and have the contained classes shown on the right.

The class data gets allocated the most space in the main window of Borland DLL Explorer, so it is easier to inspect units, class names, parent class names and other information that may be encapsulated in that tiny component.

Overall, this program is definitely very easy to use and will prove to anyone that it is indeed a nice addition to the utility belt of any developer who is working with Borland components.
