BlackBox Component Builder Forums

This anomaly is caused by a difference in the implementation of COMCTL32.dll or related library.
If you switch back to XP style by removing the BlackBox.exe.manifest file it works.
I have tested this under Vista and XP.
wine seems to ignore the manifest or it has been removed.

Shouldn't this also be applied to DevDependencies?
Even if it is a pretty useless tool, for the sake of completeness

Is this a CHAR string or a SHORTCHAR string? Andrew If you are migrating to 1.7, then Kernel.Name ist ...

What libraries does the Kernel import. The source code to the Kernel imports WinAPI but looking at the compiled code it appears to use USER32, Kernel32 and OLE32. I am not sure what I am doing wrong but I can not make use of the Kernel module. I get inconsistent import errors. Regards Andrew The Ke...

Can somebody summarize what the problem with CpcDropDown is?
I mean, "explain" the problem, not repeating the required source changes.

I am also using CpcDropDown but did not experience any problems when migrating to 1.7.

As I already mentioned, the SYSTEM.VAL TRAPs have been solved in the center version. Unfortunately, Ivan Denisov does not want it to be in the release. May be some of our russian friends can talk to him (in russian) and convince him that there is no problem involved with this fix. The fix only chang...
