If someone with a diffrent compiler would try and compile this code.
Then I would now If It Is an compiler based problem. It's probably not
but just good to know....

The poster has demanded we remove all his contributions, less he takes legal action.
We have done so.
Now Tyberius Prime expects him to start complaining that we removed his 'free speech' since this message will replace all of his posts, past and future.
Don't follow his example - seek real life help first.

lol, your defining Rectangle what?

You need to have something like void DoDrawRect(Rectangle r);

Nope... I'm declaring DoDrawRect(Rectangle);
And I have already tried that...

So it was all Syntax errors and a logic error. I have the code as follows and it compiles.

1) True != true
2) ThrRect doesn't exist
3) void DoDrawRect() doesn't exist, DrawRect() does.
4) the enum DrawRect is a function, changed to DRect

code:
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------



#include <iostream.h>





#pragma hdrstop



#pragma argsused



//---------------------------------------------------------------------------







enum CHOICE { DRect = 1, GetArea, GetPerim, ChangeDimensions, Quit };

        int GetHeight() const {return itsHeight;}



        int GetWidth() const {return itsWidth;}



        int GetArea() const {return itsHeight * itsWidth;}



        int GetPerim() const {return 2*itsHeight + 2*itsWidth;}



        void SetSize(int newWidth, int newHeight);







private:



        int itsWidth;



        int itsHeight;



};

        itsHeight = newHeight;

Thanks for the help WM!

I actually had to remove this line
'#include <vcl.h>'
for the program to compile.
Strange...!!?

thanks again...
