I am getting the compiler error "> expected" on the line:
template <int LEN>

in file :
"\Program Files\Borland\CBuilder4\Include\Vcl\Utilcls.h"

I have 2 projects originally built with Builder3. I originally
recompiled
them using Builder4, and everything worked OK.

I then add an ActiveX component to the main form, and I get the above
error.

I got "around" this error by building a new application, and putting all

the controls on the form (by hand) that are on the original form (same
names, properties, and event handlers). Then I pasted all the code
from my original .cpp file into the new .cpp file, and the above
compiler
error went away.

Project 2 has about 100 (well maybe not quite, but a lot) controls on
the
form, and I would rather not have to recreate the form.

Does anyone know what is going on, and how/what to fix in my project?

Thanks a lot

Bill, what is the line number? I suspect that LEN is defined in some way
in the ActiveX headers, hence the compiler error.

That's got to be line 368, the only place we templatize on that.

I couldn't find anywhere that we define LEN to be something, so I
doubt that's the problem.

Bill: try one of the following.

(1) run through cpp32 and scan down for the first occurance of
'TCharBuff', and see what the preprocessor is giving the compiler
at that point.

(2) change LEN in lines 368 and 378 to be 'LENGTH' or some other
value you are sure is not #defined anywhere.

Robert, LEN is defined by the control, not by you. Or some another
header got included and it does define LEN.

Yeah, that was clear. I just wanted to be sure none of the new
system header files defined it, or whatnot.

You were very quiet at the chat this morning.

I got in too late. I'm pulling 14 hour days at the moment ;)

Ouch.
I've done that on and off. Last week was particularly bad. :(

Alex, thanks for the suggestion - I looked at a header file of a product I
am using with this project, and LEN was defined. I made some changes in the
3rd party's header file, and I no longer get the compilation errors.
Thanks, Bill

Bill, that's nice to know.

Cheers,
