My problem is that my program use functions bioskey(), sound(), nosound(), delay() that apparently are not supported in version 5.5. Is there an equivalent to this functions in v5.5 somewhere?? Also is there a document somewhere describing all functions supported by the command line bcc32, v5.5?? (I was redirected here from another newsgroup) thank you Morosh Back to top Bob Gonder Guest Posted: Wed Feb 23, 2005 5:44 pm    Post subject: Re: old functions bioskey(), sound(), nosound(), delay() Morosh wrote: Quote: My problem is that my program use functions bioskey(), sound(), nosound(), delay() that apparently are not supported in version 5.5. As Andrue mentioned, it's not a compiler limitation. Windows just plain doesn't support those functions in a 32bit program. Quote: Is there an equivalent to this functions in v5.5 somewhere?? bioskey(), Depends on exactly what you want to do with it. For simple stuff (console application), use the C functions such as getch(), or the C++ cin stream. For Win32 API, see "Keyboard Input Functions" in Win32.HLP. sound() nosound(), Again, depends what you want to do. See Beep(void) in BCB5.HLP See Win API Beep(freq,duration) in Win32.HLP. See also MessageBeep() in Win32. delay() Sleep( milliseconds ) Not accurate, may be longer due to Windows task scheduling. Windows also has High Performance Timers for more accurate timing requirements, but most apps don't it. Quote: Also is there a document somewhere describing all functions supported by the command line bcc32, v5.5?? Maybe not as a "list", but yes... All "Standard C" functions. Also, you should have also downloaded a bunch of help files. Of particular value to me have been: TOOLS.HLP which gives the commandline options for each tool, BCB5.HLP which lists the C, STL and RW functions Win32.HLP which lists the main Windows API Functions (less-used functions, such as sockets, are found elsewhere).

My problem is that my program use functions bioskey(), sound(), nosound() , delay() that apparently are not supported in version 5.5. delay() has an equivalent with Sleep(). And yes, all others are not supported any more. Quote: Is there an equivalent to this functions in v5.5 somewhere?? Also is there a document somewhere describing all functions supported by the command line bcc32, v5.5?? Borland has made extra documentation available. The most helpful files are in B5STD.ZIP found at http://www.borland.com/techpubs/bcppbuilder/v5/updates/std.html. That file is 7.5 MB, but is probably worth the download.

Thanks for clarifications!! Do you know where can i download BCB5.hlp, I tried some search in Borland Site, it wasn't successful. Also, I tried the following small program (my OS is Win98): #include <winbase.h> main() { Beep(); } and I compiled using: bcc32 -6 -fp -N -d test.cpp I got: Borland C++ 5.5.1 for Win32 Copyright (c) 1993, 2000 Borland test.cpp: Error E2303 C:COMPILERBC55INCLUDEwinbase.h 227: Type name expected Error E2139 C:COMPILERBC55INCLUDEwinbase.h 227: Declaration missing ; Error E2303 C:COMPILERBC55INCLUDEwinbase.h 228: Type name expected Error E2238 C:COMPILERBC55INCLUDEwinbase.h 228: Multiple declaration for '_OVERLAPPED::ULONG_PTR' Error E2344 C:COMPILERBC55INCLUDEwinbase.h 227: Earlier declaration of '_OVERLAPPED::ULONG_PTR' Error E2139 C:COMPILERBC55INCLUDEwinbase.h 228: Declaration missing ; Error E2303 C:COMPILERBC55INCLUDEwinbase.h 229: Type name expected Error E2139 C:COMPILERBC55INCLUDEwinbase.h 229: Declaration missing ; Error E2303 C:COMPILERBC55INCLUDEwinbase.h 230: Type name expected Error E2238 C:COMPILERBC55INCLUDEwinbase.h 230: Multiple declaration for '_OVERLAPPED::DWORD' Error E2344 C:COMPILERBC55INCLUDEwinbase.h 229: Earlier declaration of '_OVERLAPPED::DWORD' Error E2139 C:COMPILERBC55INCLUDEwinbase.h 230: Declaration missing ; Error E2303 C:COMPILERBC55INCLUDEwinbase.h 231: Type name expected Error E2139 C:COMPILERBC55INCLUDEwinbase.h 231: Declaration missing ; Error E2303 C:COMPILERBC55INCLUDEwinbase.h 235: Type name expected Error E2139 C:COMPILERBC55INCLUDEwinbase.h 235: Declaration missing ; Error E2303 C:COMPILERBC55INCLUDEwinbase.h 236: Type name expected Error E2139 C:COMPILERBC55INCLUDEwinbase.h 236: Declaration missing ; Error E2303 C:COMPILERBC55INCLUDEwinbase.h 237: Type name expected Error E2139 C:COMPILERBC55INCLUDEwinbase.h 237: Declaration missing ; Error E2303 C:COMPILERBC55INCLUDEwinbase.h 241: Type name expected Error E2139 C:COMPILERBC55INCLUDEwinbase.h 241: Declaration missing ; Error E2303 C:COMPILERBC55INCLUDEwinbase.h 242: Type name expected Error E2238 C:COMPILERBC55INCLUDEwinbase.h 242: Multiple declaration for '_PROCESS_INFORMATION::HANDLE' Error E2344 C:COMPILERBC55INCLUDEwinbase.h 241: Earlier declaration of '_PROCESS_INFORMATION::HANDLE' Error E2228 C:COMPILERBC55INCLUDEwinbase.h 241: Too many error or warning messages *** 26 errors in Compile *** what's wrong? thank you Morosh Back to top Ed Mulroy [TeamB] Guest Posted: Thu Feb 24, 2005 10:33 am    Post subject: Re: old functions bioskey(), sound(), nosound(), delay() Do not include winbase.h Include windows.h ..
