I just received my complimentary copy of Petzold's "Programming Windows" for registering BC++ 2.0. I typed the first program in, and figured out the details like the _export keyword, but there is some strangeness on executing. When the window appears, the text in the middle of the screen is "disable", and only becomes "Hellow, Windows!" after I force a redraw by resizing or iconifying and restoring. Also, Windows seems flaky after running HELLOWIN -- Program Manager often quits with the dreaded Unrecoverable Application Error; I assume this must mean my little HELLOWIN program is behaving badly. I have *carefully* checked my typing and there are no typos (that I can find). Has anyone else seen this behavior? What does it mean and/or how do I fix it? Is there a file of Frequently Asked Questions relating to BC++ and windows that has been compiled? If any one out there has tried doing the Petzold samples in BC++, are there any "gotchas" that I should be aware of? Any help would be appreciated. _ __ ' ) ) / ...
