Thanks, to Jun and Jason for answering my query. Changing the field
attribute to grayUnderline works great. But it's a pain to do that in every
form. I have a lot of them. It would be nice if I can get the 3.5
constructor and Postrezlinker working with CW 5. So, I tried copying the
PostRezlinker dll and the Pref panel dll to CW directory. But, after
copying, CW simply refuses to open any existing project. It says "Operating
system error 2. Unable to open project. No such file."
Fortunately copying back the old PPalmRez.dll in the "Preference panel"
folder solved the problem. I renamed the old PPalmRez.dll to PPalmRez
old.dll and surprisingly it still works. However if I change the extension
to anything else then "dll", it stops working. Wonder what's going on here?
Is it still taking the old dll, even if it is renamed to something else?
I now loaded the resource files in the 3.5 compiler, saved them and compiled
the app. Voila, now all the solid underlines are gone. Great, now I should
get that color icon! :).
