- From your article, it sounds like you want to use a message box with those
- neat icons in it. So use the message box stuff that borland gives you
- directly: BWCCMessageBox().
-
- Full documentation on ALL of the BWCC stuff is on the borland distribution
- disk. In something like \borlandc\doc\bwcc.doc, or something like that...
- I think it even tells you where to look in the README release notes...
-
- In addition, the full source code to the DLL is on the disks as well in the
- example directories, I believe.
