I asked the programmer about dislaying the copyright screen. Here is his response: ——————————————————————————- ———————— The visual basic control disables the copyright screen. There is not a way to change this other than rebuilding the control. There is a way to disable the copyright screen that any developer can use, but you have to sign an aggreeement that you will credit Autodesk yourself. Ask Chris Allis (xris) for details. > Would it be possible to make a call directly to the .DLL that > would display the "about aawin" box? No, I don't think you can get to the about box. ——————————————————————————- ———————– Bottom line, using the .VBX, I don't see a way to display the copyright information. What is the reason you want to display that box? If you are distributing this as part of a commercial application, you need a licence aggreement with Autodesk anyway, and if you are distributing this for free, then it is freely distributable. -Brian

Dear Brian, The application that I am creating will be comercially distributed but the vbx and dll will be distributed for free. What would be the terms and conditions that I would have to abide by? I am prepared to give autodesk credit but how would you like it done. If no credit is an option please specify this. -Adlai

<<The application that I am creating will be comercially distributed but the vbx and dll will be distributed for free. >> It sounds like you need some type of licence agreement with Autodesk. Whether you do or not can be answered by Gail Bennet in the Multimedia Legal dept. She can work out specifics with you. Call 415-332-2344 and ask for Gail Bennet. -Brian
