	The box comes up because the debugging kernel expects
you to have a terminal connected to COM1. (aka AUX)  The kernel
uses the terminal to write out stack traces when a GPF or RIP occurs.
(General Protection Fault and Rest In Peace, respectively...)
If you don't have the terminal installed, things really go bad for you,
as you noticed.

	There have been sporadic reports of the retail windows
kernel trying to use a debug terminal when it is exceedingly stressed
out, but the likelihood is that a misbehaving application is the true
culprit.  
	
	You see, any program can write a string of debug output
using the (aptly named) DebugOutput and OutputDebugString API
calls.  For a good time, try the following code (in either
retail or debug build of Windows):
	:
	:
	case WM_PAINT:
	   DebugOutput("Crash-o-rama!");
	:
	:

	You'll get another visit from the friendly double-plus-ungood
system error dialog box.  MS left the code for DebugOutput in the
retail version so that apps could retain debug code (which would
have to be enabled via some sort of hidden mechanism).  Then, if your
app goes nuts in the field, you just take a terminal to the 
customer's site, turn on the debugging features via some hidden
menu option (or whatever...) and rock-n-roll.

	Unfortunately, MS did not really stress in the SDK docs
that DebugOutput() can lead to very bad times when used without
an attatched terminal.

	In the very near future, I'll be releasing a Shareware
utility that traps all DebugOutput strings, displays them in
a window, and averts sending them to the (non-existent)
terminal.
	There are other such utilities, notably OX.SYS,a device
driver for DOS which traps the terminal output.  I forget
who wrote it, but you can probably get it off of ftp.cica.indiana.edu.


See ya,
Heath

Hi!

Could anybody tell me how "Smart callback" in Borland C++ compiler
works?

What's the difference between using smart callback and using export
explicitly in .def file. My project use samrt callback and I did not use
export in my .def file. It works well until I compilered a subroutine in
Petzold's book (a dialog box), it crashed. Exception 13 Error code 532.
Why? I used many dialog box, why this one failed ? Please help! Thanks
in advance.

Hello!

	I am a developer on the Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC), the C++
application framework for Microsoft Windows.  We're in the 
process of enhancing the libraries for version 2.0 and are interested
in input from "netland" for two reasons:

	1. If you are using MFC would like to get any feedback
regarding the application framework.  Specifically, we are interested
in features you have used, features you have not used (why?), and
suggestions on how to enhance MFC.  If you are not using MFC, then
please only comment if you gave MFC careful consideration, but chose
not to use it.

	2. We would like to hear from any folks developing an
application(s) with MFC that they plan on completing soon.
If you would let us know, that would be great.  We're interested 
in having a look at the size, speed, and robustness characteristics of
real world MFC applications written outside of Microsoft.  We would not 
use your name, your company name, your product name, or anything 
else in any manner whatsoever.  If you contact us, we would be
able to consider you for participation in our limited beta release
program.

If you have significant experience with MFC (for example, having
written a complete application, or at least several thousand lines
of MFC code), we would be very interested in hearing from you.  Since
we are working to insure backward compatability with MFC 1.0, we
would like to put experienced persons on our limited beta release
program.  So, if you feel you qualify, please let us know.

Obviously, we won't be able to respond to each an every request for
features or beta participation, but they will all be given 
equal consideration.  Please try to comment only on MFC, and not 
associated tools.  And of course, we will not make public any 
release dates or feature sets.   So please accept my thanks in advance.


Please let me hear from you,

Create a font with lfEscapement = 900.
This *ONLY* works if GetDeviceCaps(hDC,TEXTCAPS) has the
TC_CR_90 or TC_CR_ANY bits set.

Let me know if you find another way.

Hi,

The reason I didn't answer is that I thought someone else
would have done it already.  Anyway, check out ExtractIcon(),
in the SDK's "Programmer's Reference, Volume 2", on page 296.

If you don't have version 3.1, send me mail.

I am trying to write a program which only has a

I am using ObjectWindows and BC++ 3.1.

In my window constructor, I :
	Attr.X = 10;
	Attr.Y = 10;
	Attr.W = 440;
	Attr.H = 0;	//  I've tried -1, 0, 10,and 25
	Attr.Style &= ~WS_MAXIMIZEBOX;
	Attr.Style &= ~WS_MINIMIZEBOX;

This leave a small (about 1/8") vestige of the client area.
Seems like no matter how small I make Attr.H, I get this.

Any idea?

Has anyone had trouble using TPW to generate .FON files?   I have set up
simple code much like the following:

Library MyFonts;
{$D FONTRES 100,96,96: Characters}
{$M 1024,0}
{$R MyFonts}
BEGIN
END.

Where MyFonts.RES is a Font Resource created by Borland's Resource
Workshop 1.03.   I rename the resulting .DLL to MYFONTS.FON as told, and
then in the code try to issue an AddFontResource('D:\PATH\MYFONTS.FON');
and the return value is ALWAYS 0 (no fonts added to the system font
table).  If I try to load a .FON compiled elsewhere, such as a MS Font
(i.e. SSERIFF.FON) it loads the proper fonts.   Third party librarys
compiled under C seem to work as well.   Others using TPW seem to have
no problem, including the congregation on CIS.   I'm tapped -- any
clues?   Thanks for your help!  I'd rather not have to go to an external

Hi! My honourable friends:

Can anybody out there can tell me under what circumstances the EndDialog
procedure will fail?

The story is:

I compiled and linked the programme listed on P548 (Chapter 10,
dialogbox) of Petzold's book 'Programming Windows', e.g. the file dialog
box subroutines. Compile ank link ok. When I run it, I clicked the OK
button, my Windows goes hung! (I clicked the Cancel button, it works
well). I used Turbo debugger (My compiler is Borland C++ 2.0) to trace
this programme, every step seems to work well until the programme comes
to the EndDialog(hdlg,TRUE), debugger tell me : Exception 13 Error code
532. What's wrong ? I think the Mr. Petzold's programme is ok except the
resource file defines the dialog box too small.

Please Help ! and I found the DEFPUSHBUTTON does not work, I mean when I
press enter, it does not generate a IDOK message.

Thank you in advance.

Subject: scroll arrow goes crazy - why?
Date: 28 Jul 92 16:58:01 GMT
Organization: Natural Language Incorporated
NNTP-Posting-Host: anableps.berkeley.edu


I have an edit control in which I am trapping various WM_VSCROLL
messages.  Under certain circumstances, when I get an SB_LINEDOWN, I add
lines to the window, position it to my satisfaction, and then return,
without calling the default scroll handler.  If those circumstances do
not hold, I just call the default handler.

So, what happens is that the little down arrow button at the bottom of
the scrollbar gets "stuck" and keeps scrolling down until I click the
mouse elsewhere.  It seems clear that there is something I need to tell
this button that the normal procedure would tell it (something like
"you're back up, don't send more scrolling messages until you're pressed
again"), but I don't know what this is.  Can anyone help?

Thanks...

  If this is happening the the debugger then I would say it sounds 
  like exactly the same problem that I described here recently
  where TDW, and I'm told Codeview, gets multiple SB_LINEDOWN 
  messages because of some screwup with it's mouse handling.

Hello,

I am posting this for a friend of mine who does not have Internet Access:

Has anyone had any trouble using GDI to print to various members of the
HP printer family? I am providing a simple x, y plot, the y axis label
with simply characters on top of one another.This works for the 2
printers I have (Apple LaserWriter II and the Epson FX-80). 
However, the HP Deskjet does not print at all -- a customer says 
Print Manager queue shows the job, but nothing happens. The HP LaserJet
IIIP and IIp are  unreliable -- the 300 DPI mode may work, but 75 and 
150 DPI show part of the graph with the y axis label missing. Without 
going on too much: I am trying to provide device independent printing 
for a simple  x, y plot, I am inquiring of the printer via 
GetDeviceCaps() its resolution, pixels per logical inch etc., but the 
results are not homogeneous (especially it seems for the HP). What am I 
doing wrong? Anyone have any similar problems?

there is definitely a new Win 3.1 function to retrieve icons out of an

select icons by their order of occurence and to return a count of how many

I had a similar problem with my ET 4000 Tseng card (1 MB) with BC++ 3.0 :
The debugger came with a SVGA DLL for Tseng based  cards.
I have renamed the DLL according the readme file to tdvideo.dll.
When debugging with a single monitor in 640*480 (256 colors) the user
screen was trashed.  When switching to 1024*768 (256) and 800*600 (256)
everything worked fine.  The only way I could use the 640*480 (256) was to
switch on Int2Fassist in the tdvideo.ini file but this slows down speed
if you specify Fullscreen saving too. The problem dissappeared on a two
monitor system.

I need help and I need it fast, like yesterday!

Sincerely,

Mike.

I would appreciate ideas from anyone that has know-how on how to 
implemented an interpreter. Any good books you could recommend? 
Are there any examples or source code that I might get my hands on?
I will most propably do the work in C.

As I mentioned, any ideas, tips or tricks are greatly appreciated!

Thanks.
