I was on the understanding that a OBJ is a OBJ is a OBJ.
Well I have tried compiling the control (included in previous message) using
delphi 3. I get the same results with C++1, Same with C++3 and C++4
complains with message about AlignControls.
So how are we suppose to support C++, I assumed that you just compiled a
.OBJ using Delphi.
Maybe I should just compile the .PAS file using C++ and use the resulting
DCU?

According to my Delphi 5 help file (I didn't check Delphi 4):
Syntax {$EXTERNALSYM identifier}
The EXTERNALSYM directive prevents the specified Pascal symbol from
appearing in header files generated for C++Builder. If an overloaded routine
is specified, all versions of the routine are excluded from the header file.
See, the help files *are* getting better!
As for the more general problem with OBJ files. I liken an .obj file to a
Delphi .dcu, and I don't expect to be able to link a Delphi 5 .dcu into
Delphi's 4, 3, 2 or 1.
That said, I'm not a C++ guru.
Cheers,
