TPW1.5 and Resource Workshop

I've written a program in TPW1.5 which is linked with a .RES file
created with Resource Workshop. The .RES file includes a menu bar and
several dialog boxes.

When the program is run, there is a window with the menu bar at the top.
On the menu bar there are two options, Begin and Exit. When Begin is
clicked, a diolog box appears.

Unfortunately, this will only work if Resource Workshop is actually
running. If RW is not running, when I click begin I get a messagebox
saying "Error Code = -1. Continue?"

How can I stop this happening and get the program to work properly
without having to load RW first?

Hi

Have you made sure that the menu id numbers are the same in RW as in your
program? I.e. you would declare Begin something like this:

const
  cm_Begin = 101;

Then you would declare a response method in your TWindows object for
cm_Begin:

type
  TMyWindow = object(TWindow)
  ...
  procedure CMBegin(var Msg : TMessage); virtual cm_First + cm_Begin;
  end;

You will want to make sure that cm_Begin is declared as 101 in both RW and
TPW. Whenever I get Error Code -1, it usually has to do with a mixup of
constants.

Hope this helps,

This looks like the age-old "BWCC" problem. Add "BWCC" to your
USES clause, and the problem will probably disappear.

Sounds like you're probably using Borland Custom Controls in your app,
you need to add "BWCC" to your uses clause.
