In PPx, given a modal (dialog) window with a set of EditUnicodeText
items in a tab group, what is the correct way to "pre-select" the first
such item so that it is already selected when the user sees the dialog?
 Is this still possible (as it was in PowerPlant)?  or must a user ...

According to Upgrading_HIToolbox.pdf, pg. 21, the HIView equivalent of
SelectDialogItemText should be something like
EUText = (EditUnicodeText*) getControl(ParameterDlg, 6); // id = 6

This might be a stupid question but im stumped. How can i get the
length of a file i opened with:
FILE*    f = fopen( path, "r");
I tried sizeof(*f) but that does not seem to give the correct results.

Is there a way to get the Return Address of a function in Carbon CFM?
This would be a call similar to:
-------------------
void * __builtin_return_address (unsigned int level) -- Built-in

I need to debug some old code under Classic using CW 8.3. I remember being
able to do this some time ago, under Jaguar.
Today, under Panther 10.3.5, if I try to launch CW in Classic mode, it quits
immediately.

So now that XCode 1.5 is out, anyone have any comments on how well CW
9.2 and XCode 1.5 play together?

I'm porting some code from a very old CW project.  I think it was built
with CW Pro 2.  I am using CW 8 in Mac OS X 10.3.5.  I can open the
project and read the files, but it won't build (no 68k linker, etc.).
I don't need to build the project.  I just need to read and copy text - ...

I ran into a major problem when updating my project to CW 9.3.  Right
after the update I converted my project and tried to compile.  But I
ran into a bunch of errors that seemed to be with how CW expands the
macro "_MSL_BEGIN_EXTERN_C."  I get stuck when compiling my

   I've just received a set of third-party source code that was intended
for compilation under XCode (1.2, I think).  I'm using CodeWarrior 9.3 to
create a Mach-O Bundle Package.  The problem is, I'm getting a lot of errors
on parameters, mostly having to do with const being ...

It'd be nice to have something like O_LARGEFILE support in MSL.
Currently I'm writing to the Carbon APIs for >2GB file sizes.
Just ran into some *nix sources today that use O_LARGEFILE...

Im compiling a windows dll that contains .c and .cpp files. I have C99
extensions on and im forcing C++ compiling. Im getting undefined
functions for most of the math functions im using such as sqrt, atan,
acos, etc, ...

I am wondering how to use mkdir under codewarrior mac os x.
i get an undefined symbol and i can't find what header i need to include.
thank you

Can/how does one applescript the file compare feature of CodeWarrior?  
That is, I have 2 text files, and I want to tell CW to compare them and
show me the window with the comparisons.
I looked at the dictionary and it seems that support is there, but I

I've just updated to CodeWarrior 9.3 and now code:
StringPtr str = "\ptext";
str[0] = 'Z';
produces an error message "access fault exception", during run time. It

CPLAT II does not emulate a platforms controls, but instead uses the
native OS controls on the underlying platform. This means that the
following platform features are incorporated in CPLAT II.
