Linking problems

[Henrik]

Hello, I got a small linking problem, I get this error: TabCtrlEx.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__PathCompactPathA@12 Debug/FileOpus2.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals I try to use ::PathCompactPath(...); I do include the "shlwapi.h" file in my project, but still doesn't want to work. Any tips? Cheers, Henrik

You need to link with shlwapi.lib too, so the linker knows which DLL contains the PathCompactPath() function. On the Link tab of your project settings, add shlwapi.lib. --Mike-- http://home.inreach.com/mdunn/ The Signature, back by popular demand: Buffy. Pajamas.

Hello, the codegurus around the world.;) The other way is to add the followings.

#include shlwapi.h
#pragma comment( lib, "shlwapi" )

Have a nice day! -Masaaki Onishi-
