Hi Vidar To be honest I've made no progress since December. We've had holidays for the Construction Industry for a month here in South Africa. Getting back to work mid January brought along other challenges in the office and I have simply had no time to restart my development work. I also haven't installed your Lima VVA as yet either. Hopefully from next month onwards things will get back to normal . we're tendering for Civil Engineering work and implementing projects which need my immediate attention...

My version of APXREVDV simply won't compile as is. If I add various LIB files i get it to run though the application is set to Dynamic not Static. The program crashes the moment I try opening a file. Can you perhaps share an IDE project file that will run with the files in the folder. (Could be DEFINES that are incorrect or something wrong on my side). In my previous code I used a TRecentfiles variable through which i added and removed items from the MRU. The system was simply passed the INI file...

Hi Sebastian Thanks for the response. I will certainly look at the source. Excuse my ignorance but where exactly do I find the source to OWLMaker? I have searched through the files sections and can only find binaries of OWLMaker - many different versions etc but no source. I have already run OWLMaker to create my OWLNext installation and don't want to run it again in case it interferes with my current builds. Thanks.

Hi Is there an example of TRecentFiles I could view? My applications (EXE and DLLs) have all been converted from BC5.02 + OWL5 to OwlNext 6.30 and all modules seem to be working fine. I cannot however get TRecentFiles to list my MRU files from an INI file. I see there is an option to use a registry entry - I am passing a false to use the INI file instead but nothing ever seems to be read from the INI file. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Please ignore the message above - I had a bug in the line below.. // mainFrame->AssignMenu(104); mainFrame - a global variable was not defined. I can confirm both BC5.02 + OWL and BC5.02 and OWLNext both now work with the MDI Child in either the DLL or the EXE and both child windows respond to their menu items. Thanks - some progress at least.... :-) I will test as a static build next and report any funny results.

Hi Vidar I have adapted the MDI File example from the Borland C++ 5.02 OWL folder as follows: I have two MDI children (SEWER AND ROAD) which are created successfully as child windows in the EXE and which adapt the menus according to each child window accordingly. (See the creation of New Sewer MDI Child and New Road MDI Child (EXE) in the menus when first loaded.) I then created the ROAD MDI Child window in the DLL as per the attached code. This fails to create the window successfully (using Dynamic...

Thanks again for the assistance. I've hit the wall a bit with my MENU in the DLL. It seems that the response table from the main EXE is being used and not the respnse table in the DLL. This only applies to the menus. The normal buttongadgets are responding / activating correctly. Only the Menu response are not activating. The MDI application swops correctly between the EXE and DLL windows and sets the menu correctly for the appropriate window. Its just that the responses are still coming from the...

Thanks for the assistance. I really appreciate your efforts - please don't do any harm to yourself because of my query.... ;-) Yes - this is the solution I suspect - I have briefly progressed further and my code is at least creating the window correctly from the DLL though it now hangs when I try to interact with it - I will investigate further. TModule* module = child->GetModule(); TMenuDescr menu(IDM_EDITFILE_CHILD, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, module); That definitely helps the system to find the correct...
