Well, I wouldn't be writing it in C, for starters .
Have you written any code yet - even stuff that doesn't work?

Hi strangerstill

Thanks for replying, I am not writing it in C (I must have written it really badly) its meant to be C++.

As you can see from my feeble attempt at the case step....I am still trying. Although I did manage to somehow write code to get the form designer to change colour, when the button was clicked.

Well, it looks like you are using ObjectWindows, so that automatically means you MUST use a Borland C++ compiler. (I think ObjectWindows is to Borland as MFC is to Microsoft) They seem pretty equivalent anyhow.

Secondly, I would have to see the class definition of TGPLightsForm in order to know what you are trying to do. I mean, are things such as "Switch" and "State" members of class TGPLightsForm??? ....and if they're not, are those global variables??? ....and if they are global variables,......WHY???? There are good uses for global variables, but that doesn't look like one of them

Also, what is in ABC3Q1U.h ???
What does #pragma package(smart_init) do, and what does #pragma resource "*.dfm" do???

#pragmas are always known to be compiler-specific instructions (actually for the preprocessor), so that makes your code compiler-specific anyway (which it already was, as you are using ObjectWindows)

Without that information, I don't think anyone could help you.
