SHGetFolderLocation' : undeclared identifier

[Kobe]

Hi
I add #include <shlobj.h> in my project.
And also #define _WIN32_IE 0x500 in the stdafx.h
before any #include directive.
But it doesn't work!

What's wrong? I use Release Win32 configuration.

Thanks

Hi,

Did you compile and link your program with the 'shell32.lib'??

Ciao, Andreas

Hi..
Which os do you use???
Id suggest you to read note 3 in msdn about this function, it is important.
(find the help document about thi api and scroll down, click on 5.00 (the shlwapi.dll version i think, then fund note 3]

I use win2000 pro and IE 5.5; so, I don't think I have
a problem with dll version.
They are the lastest.

Maybe you could try to add those two lines to 'stdafx.h' as well

#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0500
#define WINVER 0x0500

I'm very sure that I'm using correct version of dll files.
I use Win2000 pro and IE 5.5.
comctl32.dll version 5.81.4807.2300
SHELL32.DLL version 5.0.3103.1000
shlwapi.dll version 5.50.4807.2300

In StdAfx.h
I try to add this "#define _WIN32_IE 0x0500"
or "#define _WIN32_IE 0x0501" or
"#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0500
#define WINVER 0x0500"

But, all of settings seem not to work at all.

And, I include shlobj.h and link with all related dlls.
Moreover, one other thing I doubt is why I cannot
compile successfully when I use

bif.ulFlags=(BIF_BROWSEFORPRINTER | BIF_SHAREABLE);

It is told that BIF_SHAREABLE' : undeclared identifier

Can anyone solve this?

[Andreas Masur]

Well, the only guess I have left would be that you don't have the latest version of at least the header file. I assume that's why you don't have a definition for 'BIF_SHAREABLE'...

Where can I get it?
I wonder if VC 6.0 also contains old version.

[Andreas Masur]

Well, I don't know for sure since I didn't do much with the shell API yet. But I'm assuming it will be downloadable at http://msdn.microsoft.com. Visual C++ 6.0 is nearly two years old (I guess) so there is of couse some old stuff in it. Even with the latest service pack you will still have some outdated files...

FYI, I am also having SHGetFolderPath come up as an 'undeclared identifier'. I am running VC++ v6.0sp5 on W2Ksp1 with IEv5sp2. So, there really shouldn't be a problem, however this function does not even appear in the SHLOBJ.H file.

Any help would be welcome.
