    C++Builder How-To Errata

    This page contains information on the most commonly asked questions and problems in "C++Builder How-To".

    Chapter 1 Forms

    Chapter 2 Standard Components and Classes

    Chapter 3 Text Controls

    Chapter 4 Mouse and Menu

    Chapter 5 Graphics

      5.1 Use a Canvas to Draw on a Form

      Where is the TColorGrid control?

      The TColorGrid control is not installed in the C++Builder component palette when you install the product. This component is found in the EXAMPLES\CONTROLS directory where you installed C++Builder. To install TColorGrid start C++Builder. Select COMPONENT|INSTALL from the menu. Click on the ADD button then click on the BROWSE button. In the "ADD COMPONENT" dialog box go to the "EXAMPLES\CONTROLS" directory and select the file "SAMPREG.CPP". This returns you to the "INSTALL COMPONENTS" dialog. Click on "OK". After the VCL library gets rebuilt you should find TColorGrid on the Samples page on the component palette.

      5.4 Create Hot Spots in Pictures

      When using the technique in the book, make sure you set the Scaled property of the form to false. This eliminates misalignment problems due to large font verses small font system settings. The EXE included on the CD was compiled without Scaled set to false. People who use the Large font setting may notice that the hot spots are not in synch with the continents on the map.

    Chapter 6 Environment and System

      Page 336: Figure 6-10 is incorrect. It should be this:
