GDI+ doesn't work

[nightrider13]

Hi, I've set up GDI+ in an application but i onldy get unresolved linker errors. The compiler can't find "_GdiplusStartup@12" and "_GdiplusShutdown@4". Does anyone knows what i can do to get GDI+ running? thx

What do you mean the you setup GDI+ in an application? Did you include gdiplus.h? Link to the gdiplus library? Tell us what you did do and maybe someone can tell you what you didn't do...

Yeah you're right, sorry :) Yes I already included gdiplus.h. Then the next step was to declare these variables in CWinApp derived class: private: GdiplusStartupInput m_gdiplusStartupInput; ULONG_PTR m_pGdiToken; After that I added at the beginning of the InitInstance: GdiplusStartup(&m_pGdiToken,&m_gdiplusStartupInput,NULL); //gdi+ init And in the ExitInstance: GdiplusShutdown(m_pGdiToken); Thats it! Next step was compiling.

No problem. Was half afraid that I came on too strong. I get alot of "it's broke" type stuff... I could be wrong but I think that you need to add the gdiplus.lib to your project linker properties.

Yeah you aren't wrong, that was the problem. Thank you Wes! ;)

No problem. Glad that was it.
