Hi, I have an application the builds perfectly well on one machine, yet for some reason the height and width are changed during the build process on another. The actual design values of height and width in the .dfm are changed. The application is designed to run at 1680 x 1050 (wide screen) and...

Hello, I am using BDS, borland c++ builder. The tool tips in the ide are not working, ie. I hover over the save icon and i dont get the tool tip thats says "Save (Ctrl + S)". Show tool tips is checked on the options menu. Any ideas? thanks.

Thanks for the response. My issue is that I have the application running fine, but when I check it into and then pull it down from our source control system the version of winuser.h it points to is incorrect. I need to know where visual studio sets these paths. I am going to run the end resut on...

Hello, I have a vc++ 6.0 project. I have a a .lib file with the corresponding header file. How do I add the Library to my project to be able to use the functions and classes contained inside it? Thank you

you may want to look into Propertypages and propertysheets, I always preffered these to tab controls.

Hello, I have a function that wants a char* as a parameter. I want to pass it a structure, and then traverse it with pointer addition, for example if the first field in the structure was a short and i wanted to get to the second I would do something like: char *passed_in_value *= (4 *...

UpdateData(FALSE); May work for you

If you are using a static text control, you are going to have that problem. The control by default will auto wrap the text if it is to long, so if you increase the height of the control in the resource editor, it will wrap the text to the next line. If you cannot make the control large enough to...

Is your static text wide enough to handle that string without truncating it? That control does not auto adjust itself to the width of its string.

I guess I was thinking you could do something you cant. The best route to go is probably just to use overloaded functions. Thanks for the help.

you are now using managed c++ which is different from MFC. With a simple user interface like you are making, that should work just fine. Good luck.

I want to take an object and an enumerated type as perameters. Based on the enumerated type, I want to cast the object to a particular type. Is it possible to do this with a CObject?

Hello, I know it is possible, but I cant remember how to do it. I need to make a function that can take any object as a parameter. I think I use the CObject class but I could be wrong. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Thanks
