new probelm....

[Scorch]

ok not really a probelm, but i've been assigned to write a demo and documentation of the first 20 fuctions in "graphics.h" in the old borland turbo c 2.01 (its for dos) Anyways I'm doing fine with it, however I am having some probelms in figuring some things. This is due MONDAY, if you can't find it/ don't see this until then its fine because i'll just put "Does not appear to do anything" or "doesn't work" (both of which my teacher said we could do if it we had no clue, but he frowns on overuse of it)I'll update this post if I run across somthing else I can't figure out, or I find the answer to a question <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> thanks for any help in advanced. now for the questions...<br><br>1) when calling function "bar3d" you have 6 variables you call (left, top, right, bottom, depth and topflag) I know what they all do except for "topflag" I have plugged in several values for it and haven't noticed any changes in the appearence of the bar. <p></p><i></i>

Do you know how OLD that is? <br>Gah. <br><br>When I started C++ development, in '92-'93, I used Borland C++ 3 and 3.1. I've got docs for those, but couldn't find the functions listed. And I'm not going to install 26 floppies to try to find the answer to this question, sorry. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> Borland/Inprise website wasn't much help either except to say that programs wouldn't work calling this function after BCW 2.0.<br><br>However - Since the parameter is called TOPFLAG, that indicates to me it may be a boolean value. Try passing in true, false, or -1,0,1 and see if they make any difference. Does the function Bar() have this parameter? If no, then it likely has to do with the 3d appearance.<br><br>Also, the 'top' part may indicate something about when the value tops out - 100%. Just a wild goofy guess.<br><br>Hope this helps. Glad your Boston trip went well.<br><br> <p><img height=150 width=115 src=http://scratchz.hypermart.net/gambitav.jpg border=0 align=left>XMEN member<br>Card-carrying DTM<br>OKL Fish-napper<br><br><br<br><br>Here, let me deal you in...</p><i></i>
