Dialog Box Problem

Expand Post »

I'm having a problem with an application that uses several dialog boxes. On my XP machine everything works great, but if I run the app on a Win98 machine the dialog boxes show up with no background and no caption, only the controls are visible. What could the problem be?

Re: Dialog Box Problem

you are probably using controls and dialogs that are not supported in Win98. Read the system requirements in MSDN for the dialogs/functions you are using. For example, is your dialog using UNICODE strings? If it is, then it won't work in Win98 because that os does not support UNICODE.

Re: Dialog Box Problem

The dialog contains two button controls, an edit control, and a static text control. The same dialog in a program compiled with a 16bit pascal compiler works fine. Why wouldn't it work with Delphi?
