Can anybody explain what is the difference between Define and Redefine of controls. In which situation I should use Define and in which situation I should use Redefine.
Sorry, I am very much new to Harbour.

Re: Difference between Define and Redefine of controls
The difference is between the following two syntax forms:
@ row, col ...
REDEFINE ...
The former uses direct coordinates while the latter uses resource files (RC or RES).
EMG

Amser,
Besides Enrico's explanation, let me add that you use:
@ ..., ... BUTTON ...
when you create a dialogbox from source code, without using resources.
You have to use:
REDEFINE BUTTON ...
when you are creating the dialogbox from a resources defined dialogbox.
BUTTON is just an example. The same applies to other types of controls.

James Bott,
Yesterday night I found the article in your web site. I went thru the article and now I getting some idea about the usage of resource files. Your article on OOPs is also a good material for a beginner like me.
