Linker error for GetOpenFileName

[garyhess]

I'm using Easy Code / GoASM and trying to call GetOpenFileName as follows:

Code Select Expand

Invoke GetOpenFileName, Addr ofn

However, I'm getting the following linker error:

Code Select Expand


Linking...

Error!
The following symbol was not defined in the object file or files:-
GetOpenFileNameA
Output file not made

Errors ocurred.


I guess that I need to include some other header file that defines GetOpenFileName. Any suggestions? I've been exploring various Win32 functions with Easy Code / GoASM and this is the first time I've had this problem.

Thanks,
Gary

The error is at link,need a library comdlg32.lib

[garyhess]

I have commdlg.inc but not comdlg32.lib.

I just found a copy of comdlg32.lib but I'm not sure how to link it in Easy Code. Any ideas?

Hi,

Menu Project -> Add library files...

Or in project explorer, right click your project, choose "Add library" from the context menu.

Select the library files you need...

You should add both the include (.inc) as the library file (.lib). To add include files, repeat the steps but instead of "Add library" select "Add include" ...

Hi Vozzie,

I don't have "Add library files..." under " Project".  I wonder what version of Easy Code you are using? I have version 1.06.0.0015 GoAsm. Screenshot attached.

I tried to add "comdlg32.lib" but I get the following message:

Code Select Expand

comdlg32.lib: File has not been added because GoLink linker ignores static library files (*.lib).

Any ideas? I'm still getting the same linker error when I try to compile.

For this, GoLink does not use the comdlg32.lib file, but instead requires the comdlg32.dll file. Under Project, "Files to link" will allow you to add this file...

Thanks!

I started to search the web for "comdlg32.dll", but then I found out it's sitting in "c:\WINDOWS\system32".

Now it compiles and links OK.

Hi,

I wonder what version of Easy Code you are using?

The MASM version, that's probably why. Nice to know that GoAsm doesn't need the lib but dll.  :t
