I have a panel with couple of input fields. The fields are text fields
with a control input (default). The panel contains several fields, plus a
'send' button (an OK button). When I pop the panel, the cursor is in one
of the text fields. I'd like it to be on the send button. How can I force
that?

I should have stated the version. I am using 7.5

I do not see a tab order in the properties, I see a tab index. I changed
the tab index for the send button to 1 but it apparently had no effect -
the cursor is still in the same field

Have you looked at "Tab Order" in the properties of each of your items?

Try putting 1 for the 'send' button and then anything else for each of the
other
items on your panel.

Actually, I looked in the doc, and I guess you do mean tab index. The doc
also said tab index 0 is the default object - so I set it to 0, but it
still does not change the bahavior...

> My next problem is a function with a handle:

Use an int, like in the type table.

Explanation:

> CP210x_Open(DWORD dwDevice, HANDLE* cyHandle);

This function opens a device and returns a handle (void*), but in this case
it's RETURNING a handle, so the actual type is void**. IOW the double
indirection is used so that the function can return a value through a
parameter (because the function return value is used for a status value).

For VEE, this function could be:

long __stdcall CP210x_Open(long dwDevice, int *cyHandle);

Your call will work as well (long* is just fine. Any target type that works
out to 32-bits is fine). After the call, the value of cyHandle *is* the
handle. Anywhere they call for a device handle, that's the value to use:

CP210x_Write(HANDLE cyHandle, PVOID buf, DWORD dwNumBytes);
long __stdcall CP210x_Write(int cyHandle, int *buf, long dwNumBytes);

cyHandle is the value retrieved in the earlier open call.

NOTE: VEE does not do void*. Nor does it do void**. But it doesn't matter.
They're all just numbers. In the library, this is what they're doing:

Open(unsigned long dwDevice, void** cyHandle) {
void *hDev = NULL;
// Do open so hDev = handle
*cyHandle = hDev;
}

Once you forget about the typedefs and look at the real types, it makes a
lot more sense.

It would be a good idea. The stuff we talk about here may make its way into
meetings in an offhand way, but official channels are available.

Via the ADN website.

I don't know if there's a more direct route, but from ADN Home click:
