The following definitions (plus others that I don't need just yet) are missing from the commctrl.h file:

typedef struct tagINITCOMMONCONTROLSEX {
 DWORD dwSize;
 DWORD dwICC;
} INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX,*LPINITCOMMONCONTROLSEX;
#define ICC_WIN95_CLASSES 255
#define ICC_DATE_CLASSES 256
BOOL WINAPI InitCommonControlsEx(LPINITCOMMONCONTROLSEX);

I put them in my own header temporarily and everything resolves OK except for the last one.

BOOL WINAPI InitCommonControlsEx(LPINITCOMMONCONTROLSEX);

This one can't be resolved during link. I get the following message:

link win+GUI,,,gdi32+user32+kernel32,d:\GUI\dmc\win/RC:win/noi;
OPTLINK (R) for Win32  Release 7.50B1
Copyright (C) Digital Mars 1989 - 2001  All Rights Reserved

GUI.obj(GUI)
 Error 42: Symbol Undefined
?InitCommonControlsEx@@YGHPAUtagINITCOMMONCONTROLSEX
@@@Z (int stdcall InitCommonControlsEx(tagINITCOMMONCONTROLSEX *))

--- errorlevel 1

Can you help, please.

Thanks.

Try enclose function prototype with extern "C" { }.
(note the mangling of function name in linker output)

Now I get...

GUI.obj(GUI)
 Error 42: Symbol Undefined _InitCommonControlsEx@4

Is there something else I can do?

You can now try to find where (what DLL) this function resides and then create .def file for it and create import library via implib.exe.

Read DMC online help to learn more about .def files an implib.

Actually, this should be addressed by Walter Bright, since this is all part of the win32api support that the compiler system should provide. Obviously, this is something that slipped through the cracks. Hopefully, Walter will read this and respond. Thanks for your suggestions though,

Gary.

In the meantime you could have a look at http://cmeerw.org/prog/dm/ms_sdk.html on how to use the latest Platform SDK with DMC++.

...and what have you contributed to the Net?

Thanks to all who replied... I simply failed to link the comctl32.lib file. Works great now.

That symbol is in \dm\lib\comctl32.lib. Need to add it to the list of libraries presented to the linker.
