(Thank you Stefan for helping me to get rid of the "dummy version of
OwlMain" error message.)

I am in the process of converting an BC++ 4.5 windows app to C++ builder
4.0.

Now I got the executable, and I can run it.
But in start up, I can not see the main window, can only see a sign on
dialog with some logo which is supposed to be displayed inside the main
window, then the first dialog  box come up.

One thing I found out suspicious is the value of CREATESTRUCT.
the code looks like:

int AI_Main_Window::EvCreate( CREATESTRUCT & cstruct )
{
  int result = TDecoratedMDIFrame::EvCreate( cstruct );

  PostMessage( WM_MAIN_INIT_DESKTOP, 0, 0 );  // this will call a function
to prepare menu and toolbar.

  return result;
}  //  AI_Main_Window::EvCreate()

By using the C++ Builder debugger, I found out the pointer lpCreateParams is
NULL.
cy, cx, x, y are either 0, or negative huge numbers.
During debugging, I changed the value of cy,cx, x, y to make them reasonable
values.
That makes no difference, the main window is still invisible.
Since I suppose this cstruct is passed on to me by the system( am I right?),
there is no way for me to find out why lpCreateParams is NULL.

What might be wrong?

Thank you for your help.
