- Where the HELL is Borland?!?
-
- I've been trying to get through to their Windows/C++ tech help line for a
- WEEK!! It's always BUSY...and it's an ACD system!! I call 1 minute before
- they open and get the "We're closed" message, I call 30 seconds later and
- get the "We're closed" message, I call 30 seconds later and get BUSY!! It
- stays that way every time I call (at random times throughout the day)!!
- I've attempted at least 10-15 times per day for the last 8 days...
-
- Of the three times it DID ring, once it hung up on me just after I pressed
- '3' (Windows programming) - '3' (miscellaneous), the other two times I was
- put on "the next available technician..." hold forever (well, I gave up after
- 30 minutes)!!
-
- Any word on what's going on? Can it be that busy that quickly? Is there a
- good time to call?
-
- Things went so smoothly under the old system. I was never on hold for more
- than 5 minutes and the help was great! ...and what happened to that incredible
- voice...you know...that sexy Brittish female voice that guides you through the
- ACD system ("Press 1 for...")? Gee I miss her.
-
- Well, sorry for the ranting. I just wanted to scream out of frustration...
- an maybe one of you knows what happened.
-
- I posted a set of questions last week and got some good answers to one of my
- questions. Thanks.
-
- These still remain and Borland seems inaccessible, so...
-
- I need to be able to differentiate between multiple buttons which
- display the same bitmap. Borland style buttons seem to use the ID field
- of the button definition to determine which bitmap to use on the button face
- (1000 series for norm, 3000 series for pushed, and 5000 series for focus), so
- how can I get different WM_COMMAND wParams from similar buttons (or how can I
- differentiate which button was pressed (numerically, not with window handles)
- if I need to use the same ID)?
-
- Reposting an old question...when I bring up a Borland style dialog box, I
- would like to display a bitmap on its face based on a global variable (if the
- variable equals 0 display bitmap A, if 1 display bitmap B, etc..., at a
- certain location on the dialog box), but I don't get WM_PAINT messages for the
- dialog box when it's initially displayed, nor when I call InvalidateRect in
- response to an INIT_DIALOG message (and the windows doesn't yet exist to
- display a bitmap on when an INIT_DIALOG message is received).
-
- Any suggestions?
-
- thanks,
