it does, although application should be whole time in memory. not a big deal, dos times are over and we have enough memory :-D

is there any way to run exe at shutdown, any registry key ?. my app should check some things when windows exits. there is no reason to keep it during whole session in memory.

you mean, day,mm,year are stored in one long ? asume year is stored in high word and day+month in low word: systime.wDay= (BYTE)lDate; // low byte low word systime.wMonth= (WORD)(lDate>>8)&0xFF; // hi byte systime.wYear= (WORD)(lDate>>16)&0xFFFF; //hi word you may change it depending on sequence in which values are stored in long

thanks for suggestions. i've found very nice solution, Open Watcom. It supports multiple platforms win16/32 and dos, has lots of tools included, and is open source:-D

i mean SDK for windows 3.x,ant its a 16 bit os.

this is a point, i already have 16 bit MS C++ compiler with MFC, unfortunately it does not include SDK. There is also download link in readme file which is about 10 years death :). CD version may include SDK ,well, eBay seems to be only one way to get it.

does somebody know where to download 16 bit windows platform SDK ?, perhaps 3.1 or so.

may be iphlpapi.h utilizes types declared in some other header. i suggest you to check APIs used by your app and make sure that all necessary headers in right sequence are included.

deleting intellisense database .ncb file helps sometimes VS will built an new and then it should work

i would say there is not a lot of difference. Some debugger and code editor advantages, VB like UI. I think if you have 6 there is no reason to buy 7

some years ago i’ve coded dlls for VB 6.0 and had the same trouble,I don’t know why an VB app needs full path to dll even if dll is in its folder. you can use some APIs like GetModuleFileName to get full path to your application then append dll name to it. I don’t know if there is some better way to solve it I’m not VB coder.

Since all controls are rounded, it looks like win3x

I Never tried it but I think it can be done removing SBARS_SIZEGRIP style using ::SetWindowLong(GWL_STYLE ...) after statusbar was created.

ok. thanks

Hi, I can't find any way to resize class arrays created using "new" is it right to use C memory allocation functions for class arrays and then call constructors/destructors :confused:
