1.3 Microsoft Windows Operating Systems

The ACUCOBOL-GT runtime makes a number of automatic adjustments depending on the version of the host Windows operating system. The runtime detects when it's executing under Windows 95 or 98, Windows NT 3.5 or 4.0, or Windows 2000, and makes the following adjustments:

• Under Windows 95/98 and Windows NT 4.0/Windows 2000, if the user selects the "Always-on-top" attribute for the Task Bar, the runtime excludes the space that the Task Bar occupies from the measured screen dimensions.
• Under Windows 95/98 and Windows NT 4.0/Windows 2000, pop-up hint boxes for bitmap buttons use the colors chosen by the user in the Control Panel. Under Windows NT 3.5, the colors are always black and yellow.
• Under Windows 95/98 and Windows NT 4.0/Windows 2000, the 3-D borders drawn around combo boxes and list boxes are drawn to match the standard look.
• Under Windows 95/98 and Windows NT 4.0/Windows 2000, the sizes of some controls are slightly modified to match the standard look.
• Under Windows 95/98 and Windows NT 4.0/Windows 2000, bitmap buttons default to square and unframed. Under Windows NT 3.5, bitmap buttons default to round and framed.
