I'm having some problems with Borland's C++ Ver 2.0 OWL. For
the most part it's good, but some things seem funny to me. I
have a couple of question that maybe someone can help me with.
1) I have a TPopupMenu tied to a EvRButtonDown which calls
a TrackMenu. This causes the Menu to be displayed as long
as I hold the right mouse button down. I want it to popup
and stay up like it does on the OS/2 desktop. HOW DO I???
2) I tried for two hours to get a TInputDialog to work. Copied
it right out of the book (pg. 107 OWL Programmer Guide). It
keeps throwing and exception! Step5 from the examples run
fine. My code is'nt any different. Its right before the
TrackMenu line in problem 1. BORLAND DID'NT COMPILE THE
OWL WITH DEBUG so I can't step in to call. IS THERE ANY
MAKE FILE OR SOMETHING I CAN USE TO REMAKE THE OWL WITH
DEBUG and not screw anything up. I could'nt find any.
Is there anything I need to know before making it? I
would like to make one with debug seperate from my old
one!!! But I can re-install.
3) LAST ONE!! From the TPopupMenu I tried to exit the program
but I could'nt make it work! I tied the popup to CmExit,
it Did'nt work. I tied it to a EVCOMMAND(.., ..) and in the
routine call EmExit, I tried every thing, yet nothing
worked. The main menu bar is tied ti CM_EXIT and it works.
Why can't I make a popup do the same thing!!!
