I'm having trouble implementing the load common dialog function.

I keep getting an error of:

Error: C:\DM\HMCG\HMCG.OBJ(HMCG) (62194): Symbol Undefined
_GetOpenFileNameA@4

I've included commdlg.h and can find no reason for this.

I downloaded some code from planetcpp.com that includes  the common dialog function for loading bitmaps and that code gave the same error when compiling.

You need to include comdlg32.lib in your link command.

I think you will need to incluse COMDLG32.LIB in your project. Jan

Thanks,

I added in the lib file and now it works.
