Custom components in 64-bit C++ Builder (creating standalone executable) [Edit]
As stated http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/XE3/en/C%2B%2BBuilder_64-bit_Windows_Differences#Producing_64-bit_Packages_Not_Supported , creating 64-bit packages (meaning installing custom components for 64-bit target) isn't yet supported in C++ Builder. But as creating and using 64-bit libraries is supported, is possible to use custom components in standalone (without runtime packages) 64-bit executable too. There is our temporay solution, maybe useful for someone else too: * create 32-bit component package, * create parallel 64-bit library project (New, Other, Static Library) that contains runtime code of same components and has same name as 32-bit package (meaning it should be reside in different directory); set proper (intermediate, hpp and) final target directories for this project, * in final project, add both 32 and 64-bit targets, but use IDE designer in 32-bit target activated mode (works because IDE is 32bit), * add previously created 64-bit library directory to final project 64-bit target library directories (and maybe intermediate/hpp directories should added to appropriate directories too) : now should be possible to build 64-bit final project...

This part "(meaning installing custom components for 64-bit target)" is actually
meaningless. The IDE remains a 32bit ide, you can only install 32 bit packages,
you can not install 64 bit packages even if built with Delphi. At design time
you are always working with 32 bit versions of components, at link time you link
in the 64 bit obj files. Your target during design time will not matter.

Let's say "using custom components in 64-bit target" then
> Your target during design time will not matter.
It matters in C++ Builder XE3 (tested Trial with SP1): when active target platform is set to 64-bit during design-time, 32-bit-only custom components are "greyed out" (as it should be) in Tool Palette and in Ide Insight too, eg you cannot add them to your form...

That means the compiler directive is not correctly setup for the component. (this is the same for Delphi)
[ComponentPlatformsAttribute(pidWin32 or pidWin64)]
http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/XE3/en/64-bit_Cross-Platform_Application_Development_for_Windows
"Making Your Components Available at Design Time and Run Time
Following are the two ways the IDE decides whether or not a component is available for Win32/Win64/OSX32. (Here "available" means appearing on the palette, and checked by the IDE. The IDE does not do any compile-time checking other than verifying the existence of component unit.) Both methods described here rely on data embedded in the Win32 run-time (or design+run-time) package that implements the components. The IDE cannot load Win64 and OSX32 packages in the IDE, so the IDE must defer to the Win32 pack
age for information.
The RAD Studio build system automatically embeds an RC_DATA resource in the Win32 package binary named PLATFORMTARGETS, which is a bitmask of the pidXXX constants in System.Classes.pas and reflects the package project's targeted platforms. The IDE reads this when the package is loaded and uses it to decide, for example, whether or not to disable the component(s) in the palette when an unsupported platform is active.
Targeting multiple platforms with a component package implies a contract between the component developer and the IDE. The IDE assumes that if a component package project targets multiple platforms and the developer distributes the Win32 run-time package to customers (and all the associated compilable and linkable files), the developer will also distribute all the necessary compilable, linkable, and run-time bits for the other targeted platforms as well.
Individual components can use the ComponentPlatformsAttribute class attribute to override the data in PLATFORMTARGETS, using a bitmask of the same constants in the Classes unit. For example:
type
[ComponentPlatformsAttribute(pidWin32 or pidWin64)] // not supported on OSX
TMyComponent = class(TComponent)
private
...
end;
Use of the ComponentPlatformsAttribute attribute implies the same contract as described in the first bullet above."
If that style attribute is not available in C++ Builder, you should be able to make an intermediate Delphi parent class that basically just defines that and then inherit from it instead of the original parent.

Does this will work with a dll instead of a static library as parallel 64-bit project ?
Thanks in advance

C++ Builder XE4: Need to upgrade a custom widget for 64-bit compile
Ten years ago I subclassed TStringGrid to create a widget that added a few features I needed. I've installed this widget into XE4, and it works fine for 32-bit builds. But now I'm rewriting the product, and it needs to be published in both 32- and 64-bit versions. This would work fine if I could figure out how to make a 64-bit version of my widget, but I'm stumped. In C++ Builder XE4, if I select Component->New and create a new project, my only compiler options are 32-bit and OSX. Same thing if I use File->New->Other and choose Package from the project types list. ...
New-blank 64 bit C++ Builder XE3 VCL Application
I just installed C++Builder XE3 tonight, with 64 bit support. I created a new project. I built it. And ran it. It built and ran fine. (32 bit). Then I added a 64-bit windows target platform. Instead of it building, it complained it couldn't find the vcl.bpi and rtl.bpi, and even though they are both in the same folder and I clicked "remember this folder", it asked me twice to find the .bpi files that should have been in the default lib/bpi folders. Then, if that wasn't annoying enough, it couldn't find any of the headers when I built in 64 bit mode. I had to find...
