can not find olepro32.lib

[stober]

I'm having a problem similar to the one in this thread. I am using VC++ 2005 Pro, created a Smart Device MFC ActiveX control, call OleTranslateColor() but fails to find the library. I looked in the compiler's C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\atlmfc\lib directory and sure enought there is no such library.

Any other ideas where it might be ? maybe M$ moved it to a different library? And yes, I've already read several google links and msdn but no help.

Thanks

nevermind. I changed it to use TranslateColor() and it compiles and links ok.

One solution that worked for me was to prefix the OleTranslateColor with the ATL namespace, like:

ATL::OleTranslateColor(...);
