It Does Not Work. Give Up. Borland and Microsoft will tell you that it is not going to work. TC++ does not know how to generate functions with the proper windows wrappers. Borland has announced, and it has been mentioned in this newsgroup a hundred times, that there is a new version of TC and TC++ in beta that _will_ produce windows code. If the current version could be used, they would have told you, instead of developing a new version. So you'll just have to wait for this, or use Zortech.
