Just two quick questions:

    1) Does Windows have problems with Mark Parity?  BuildCommDCB () 
       returns -1 (IE_BADID) for "COM2: 4800, M, 7, 1, N" but
       "COM2: 4800, O, 7, 1, N" works fine...
       
    2) Can someone point me to where I can find real documentation on
       creating buttons with bitmaps?  I'm trying to create a tool bar
       using with buttons styled after Borland's Resource Workshop's
       (nothing plagerized, of course, I just like the floating grapics
       look).  Also, can I create dialog boxes that use the checkerboard
       gray that Borland uses?  (Development using Borland C++ 3.0,
       Windows 3.0 (soon to be 3.1), Resource Workshop (if needed), 
       & application frameworks.
       
Thanks in advance...
