[questions about Borland Custom Controls and BWCC.DLL]

I experienced much of the same trouble when I tried the controls -
here is what I have learned:

To use the Borland Custom Controls in a Dialogue Box, you indeed
have to load BWCC.DLL. You can do this in either of tho ways,

  - call BWCCGetVersion() in your program
or
  - execute loadbwcc.exe from Windows

You ask "where in the manuals is the use of BWCC.DLL mentioned" -
apparently it is NOT. I have Borland C++ 3.1, and the manuals do not
mention it. HOWEVER, look up the files

BWCCAPI.RW, BWCCSTYL.RW, CUSTCNTL.RW and MANUAL.RW

in your borlandc\doc directory. You'll be surprised!

>Also, am I allowed to distribute BWCC.DLL with any applicatoins I write?

Yes you are. A phonecall to Borland International (Australia) assured me
I could do this.

Hope this helps,
Bernt
