I am trying to get a screen saver name to appear in the drop down list
in the screen saver settings in the control panel rather than just the
program name.

I have added the compiler directive

{$D SCRNSAVE : Screen Saver}

into the project source code, but this does not seem to work.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks in anticipation.

Adrian

Hi Adrian,
this is some weird thing.
I suppose you are using win95. In this case you only need to change
the file extension of your saver from .scr to .SCR and you'll see your $D
name in the control panel.
Hope this helps

Nope, didn't work, still having problems.

Any other suggestions ?

Q) When I upgraded my code to the Win32 platform, the description string
I specified
does not get included in my exe/dll, and/or fails to compile. I do not
want to use the
description field that is available on the linker page, since I must be
able to do this
in code. How can I get the compiler to embed my description string?

A) In you projects main file, include the following code:

{$IFDEF WIN32}
  {$DESCRIPTION 'MyProgram'}
{$ELSE}
  {$D MyProgram}
{$ENDIF}
