Borland's BWCC.DLL contains glyphs (bitmaps) of icons that appear in
message boxes in Borland's own products - a red hand, "?", "!" and "i".
Yet I can't find any documented way of using them.  I've designed
a custom message box class that uses the grey "bordlg" style, and these
icons would look better than the Windows standard ones (which I'm also
not sure of how to access).

Are these BWCC glyphs documented, or just transient things that may go
away in a future release?

I'd rather not mess with figuring out the monitor resolution, then
deciding which glyph to yank directly out of the DLL (there appear to
be VGA, EGA and CGA versions in there).  Is there a better way?

Many thanks.
Jimmy

Well you may have done a lot of work for nothing.  Take a look at some of
the .doc files in the \Borlandc\Doc Directory I think.  The Function you
want to use is
BWCCMessageBox(HWindow, "Message", "Title", MB_OK | MB_ICONS);

Make sure you #include <BWCC.H>

The Hand, "?", "!", and "i", take the place of the
Stop Sign, "?", "!" and "i" in windows regular message box

MessageBox(HWindow, "Message", "Title", MB_OK | MB_ICONS);
Check out the Windows API.

Good Luck!
