I could never get it to work right either.  What I do is to edit the 
resource as text and put all the radio buttons on consecutive lines and
then put some other resource after that (like a CTEXT).  The effectively
groups your radio buttons (make sure they are all set to be auto-radio
buttons as well).  If you have more than one group of them, just make sure
you have a non-radio button resource inbetween the groups.

This is probably not the most elegant way of doing it, but it works...

Hi there!
Does anyone out there knows how to implement a linked list for Windows using

 Hi all!
I have been developing a package using ZINC c++ library and was
wondering if anyone else out there has been using it as well and
if there was a site on the net with some downloadable code

I am currently working on a virtual combo box that will scan a
.dbf file...some of the objects I would be interested in is
a zinc "speadsheet" type of object that would allow data entry
into a excel-like MDI window.

I have been very impressed so far with the multi-platform aspects
of the package, and while the ZINC BBS is nice, I was just checking
for any signs of net information.

Thanks in advance!!!

When you "put the option buttons on it" are you dragging them in from
elsewhere?  In order to get VB to properly associate option buttons
on a particular frame (form or picture object) the option button must
be created WITHIN the frame.  Click on the option button tool once, then
draw the option button within (or on) your frame (click, drag, release)...

Apologies for the "back to basics" response, however it is easy to use
the shortcut double click on a tool to create the option buttons - but
it doesn't propery associate the button with any frame (except your
primary form)...  Hope this helps...

	Did you compile the resource script and bind it into your

	put the .rc script file in the project and the make will
	invoke the resource compiler.

	     1. give each one an ID (ID_RB1,ID_RB2,...ID_RB5)
	     2. in the DlgProc for the dialog box, handle the messages
		as follows:
		   case WM_COMMAND:
		     id=(int)wparam;
		     switch(id){
		       ID_RB1:
		       ID_RB2:
		       ID_RB3:
		       ID_RB4:
		       ID_RB5: CheckRadioButton(hdlg,ID_RB1,ID_RB5,id);
			       break;

You could just as well set it up in your res file.
Using the Resource Workshop editor:
  Double click the first radio button of the group
  Set button type to "Auto radio button"
  Make sure "Tab stop" atttribute is set
  for the rest of your buttons:
    Double click button 2..lastbutton
    Set button type to "Auto radio button"
    Remove any "Tab stop" attribute of the button
And that's it!

(Rest deleted...)

Good luck!

One of these daze, I'm going to ask a question that someone actually

I have a reasonably standard LIB environmental variable, etc., in MSC 7.0
(with the patch installed, but this predates the patch)...

Two link files, one for an .exe and one for a .DLL (although I don't
think that the target really matters)...  They're almost identical,
excepting a couple of link options, (like /F on the .EXE)...

When I run nmake to build the .exe, everything's fine...  When I run
nmake to build the .DLL, it can't find the Windows standard libraires,
like libw.lib and mcewdll.lib !!  If I simply type, "\windev\lib\"
it find it !!  Yes this is indeed in my LIB env !!

Anyone seen this ?  Any ideas ?

Suggestions welcome...

Maybe you should post a summary when you received answers that might be of
interest to others.  Especially for questions that might cause lots of
people to answer it, it's better to have one summary of emailed answers
being posted instead of 20 times answers directly posted to the net

So pleeeze everybody:  post a summary of the email-answers you got, at

Whenever you run debug kernel you need to have your machine connected
to a com port so that the output from the debug kernel has some place
to go.  If you don't have (or don't want to use) a second machine/dumb
terminal then just run the DBWIN app that ships with C7.  Add it to
your startup group for maximum benefit.

No, there's no code to support undo in the current releases of PFE.

 at design time the option buttons disappear behind the frame and

 Is there some magic key combination that lets me associate the buttons
 with the frame so that when I move the frame the buttons move too and do
 not disappear. There is nothing in the manuals on this. There is obviously
 a way to do it since there is a demo program called prnt.mak that is in the

Hi,

I'm writing an application in Visual Basic 1.0.  I need to have more than 
one group of option buttons on the form at the same time.  The "Microsoft 
Visual Basic Programmers' Guide" says, on page 129:

"Note  If you want to create more than one group of option buttons, you 
must place some of them inside frames or picture boxes.  All the option 
buttons inside any given frame constitute a separate group, as do all the 
option buttons inside a picture box.  When creating a separate group this 
way, always draw the frame or picture box first, then draw the option 
buttons."

I followed these instructions exactly.  When I try to click on any of the 
option buttons inside my frames or picture boxes, nothing at all happens.

What do I need to do to make two or more separate groups of option buttons 
work?
