E2303: type name expexted

[sakapuce]

Hi,

I usually use a Linux alternative (like Qt) when i want to program in c++. Today, i decided to try c++ builder 6 enterprise. After installation, i tried to compile many differents examples but all of them give the sames errors and always at an 'USEFORM()' line instruction:

Project.cpp(6): E2303 Type name expected
Project.cpp(6): E2034 Cannot convert 'char *' to 'int'
Project.cpp(6): E2293 ) expected
Project.cpp(8): E2141 Declaration syntax error

I already tried to find the solution by myself but without success.

If you have a solution, please tell me.

Thanks.

Post the line of code that is causing the problem. It will help is diagnosis.

The line where the error appears looks like:

USEFORM("FngrMain.cpp", FormMain);

Project.cpp(6): E2303 Type name expected
Project.cpp(6): E2034 Cannot convert 'char *' to 'int'
Project.cpp(6): E2293 ) expected
Project.cpp(8): E2141 Declaration syntax error

and give the followings messages:

I do not think USEFORM("FngrMain.cpp", FormMain); will work in Builder6.

try
#include "FngrMain.h"
#pragma link "FormMain"
