Hello to all!!

Major parts of FreeCAD are written in C++. I doubt that you can call C++ stuff from within Delphi. However, for most functionality FreeCAD offers a Python binding and since Python in written in plain C there might be a little chance to go this direction.

Hello wmayer,
I have a Delphi application that creates 3D faces in a DXF file.
My idea is to import this file into a window that could be FreeCAD for viewing.
I guess to import 3D DXF files FreeCAD no problem.
What I want is to embed FreeCAD window in a window of my Delphi application to import the DXF file and navigate through Python, to have not run FreeCAD in another thread.
Is that possible ?.
Greetings and thanks for your time.

Here is an example using the Windows API and C/C++ to embed FreeCAD as a child window. The most important point is calling "FreeCADGui.embedToWindow".
