I have an application that I am considering building with THINK C. I don't know a lot about the package, so if some of you could answer these questions for me, it would make my decision easier: 1. Does it have graphics capabilities? If so, how good are they? 2. Does it have library of objects such as menus, word processing fields, and other stuff that I could use in my application instead of coding them myself? Any insights are appreciated. Thanks in advance, David K. Codelli David K. Codelli |"Are you sure you don't want some- Georgia Institute of Technology | thing for the pain, Col. Flagg?

Thanks to all who responded to my last question. I've almost got it, but here are two more questions. I am creating a new application by adding to an existing one. 1. I can't get the CBartender object to undim my menus. I created them with ResEdit 1.2 and gave them a menuID there. In the header of my source file, I have #define MENUmymenu 128 /* The menuid from ResEdit */ and in the SetUpMenus method for my application, I have gBartender->SetDimOption(MENUmymenu,dimNONE); when I run my app, they stay dimmed, unlike the menus that were there in the old application. 2. Suppose I want a window to come up to display graphics and text, but not have a title bar or scroll bar. Would this be a pane object, and would I need a new window for it?

A while back I posted a problem I was having drawing some controls. I received several responses (which I appreciated very much), but none was able to help me because I posed the problem wrong. Problem 1. Consider the Starter app that comes with the TCL. I have a subpane of the main window, defined as a local variable of Buildwindow(). I can draw using Quick draw routines with no problem. This subpane is actually a subclass of Cpane called CSelectionPane, because I wanted to have a radio group as its instance variables. The instance variables look like this: struct CRadioGroup *theField; struct CRadioButton *theButton1; struct CRadioButton *theButton2; These buttons are created from resources. In my ISelectionPane(), I have the following lines: theButton1->IRadioButton(B_id1, this, theField); theButton2->IRadioButton(B_id2, anEnclosure, theField); where B_idx is the resource id of the button. Here is the weird part: the first declaration sets the enclosure of the button to my instance of CSelectionPane (which is what I want), the second sets the enclosure to the mainpane. For some reason, when I run, I am only getting the second button drawn, in the coords of the main pane, not my subpane, of course. If I switch the two, the one with "this" still is not drawn. Another interesting part is that if I draw (lines for example) where a control will be created, the lines inside the containing rect of the control will be erased. Problem 2. I have created a DLOG and a DTIL using resedit. The dialog looks exactly like I want it to in resedit, but when I load it with GetNewDialog(res_id, ...) It only draws my buttons, not my static text fields. If I change the static text part to be a button, it draws a button with my static text as a title. I have searched IM, the Think manual, everything, and I can't figure out what is going on. I hope someone can please help me as I am really stuck. Thanks in advance, David David K.
