    TITLE  :  White text background and the new BWCC.DLL




  When Resource Workshop (RW) is used with the newest versions of
  BWCC.DLL (dated after March 9 1992), you may see a problem with
  certain text strings being displayed on a white, instead of gray
  background.  You can see this on the Compile Status Dialog when
  you open a .RC file. The strings are displayed on a white
  background, and the previous string is not erased properly.

  This is a known problem with RW and can easily be remedied by
  changing some resource attributes.  This document will explain
  how to patch your copy of RW to fix this display problem.

  1.   Make a copy of the file WORKSHOP.EXE, located in your BIN
       directory.  Name the copy WORKNEW.EXE, for example.  This
       file is the main module of RW, and contains the resource you
       need to change.

  2.   Run RW, and load the file WORKNEW.EXE.

  3.   Open the dialog resource "1402" located in the DIALOG
       section in the WORKNEW.EXE project window.

  4.   Doubleclick on the white space to the right of the word
       "Status:" to bring up Control 101.  Change the Control Type
       from "Simple text" to "Left text", and press OK.  The space
       changes color from white to gray.

  5.   Repeat Step 4 for the white space to the right of the word
       "Main:" to bring up Control 102.

  6.   Repeat Step 4 for the white space to the right of the word
       "Current:" to bring up Control 103.

  7.   Close the Dialog Editor, save the project WORKNEW.EXE, and
       exit RW.

  8.   Run the program WORKNEW.EXE, load a .RC file, and look at
       the text on the Compile Status dialog box.  This test works
       best if the .RC file does not have an associated .RWS file,
       so you can watch the compilation progress.  If you did the
       previous steps correctly, the text should be black on gray
       background.  If the background is white, the previous steps
       were not done correctly.

  9.   After you've verified that the steps were done correctly,
       delete WORKSHOP.EXE or rename it to WORKSHOP.BAK.  Then
       rename WORKNEW.EXE to WORKSHOP.EXE.
