That's not a bug in Builder, but in your understanding in how your own code
should work.

Your dialog procedure doesn't match the function signature DialogBox() is
expecting.  You need to cast your function pointe when you pass it in:

    fResult = DialogBox (hInstance, TEXT ("AboutBox"), 0,
(DLGPROC)MyDialogProc) ;

That is because DLGPROC has a different declaration depending on whether
STRICT is defined or not, which is not defined by default:

typedef int (FAR WINAPI *FARPROC)();

...

#ifdef STRICT
typedef INT_PTR (CALLBACK* DLGPROC)(HWND, UINT, WPARAM, LPARAM);
#else
typedef FARPROC DLGPROC;
#endif
