Re: [win32gui] [perl-win32-gui-users] Toolbar style contants
Looking at the Microsoft website, it mentions that VC6 compiler is no longer
supported and that the CURRENT platform SDK is NOT compatible with VC6. The
last SDK that works with VC6 is the SDK released February 2003.
This I downloaded from the MSDN site (subscribers section), and installed
it, added the two paths to lib and includes, checked out the Win32-GUI
source and started to compile... all works fine until the last section and
then it fails, producing an error linking virtually every obj... not sure
what's next.
What version of the Platform SDK are you using Rob?

Hi Rob,
Have checked my commctrl.h file and it is dated 1998 and stated as

v1.2
The includes are directly from installing VS98 and SP6
The header file IS missing TBSTYLE_EX_MIXEDBUTTONS. If I define it:
#define TBSTYLE_EX_MIXEDBUTTONS 0x0008 and re-compile, it then
protests that it is missing BTNS_SHOWTEXT.
Clearly the commctrl.h file is out of date. I was under the
impression
you were using the same compiler. Can the include headers from .NET
be
used. If not how do you update the headers (and what other resources
need to be updated).
I am indeed using the VC 6 compiler, but I am pointing it at the header
files from the latest Platform SDK.
The latest SDK can be downloaded from MS at:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=A55B6B43-E24F-
4EA3-A93E-40C0EC4F68E5displaylang=en
I downloaded the ISO image (~400MB) and burned a CD, but there are
other
options - see links on the page.
You then need to set up your environment variables (INCLUDE and LIB) to
point to the correct SDK directories before the VC98 directories.
I tried the Win32api includes from MinGW, however BTNS_SHOWTEXT was
not
found in commctrl.h from MinGW either.
What version of MinGW headers? Latest is 3.2 (look in w32api.h to find
your current version), and that has it defined.
An example that exhibits this is the toolbar.pl script you sent me
(attached).
There are 2 ways to deal with this:
(1) Upgrade to the latest headers
(2) Add code like
#ifndef
#define Y
#endif
to GUI.h. My preference would be not to bloat GUI.h
(3) Add code like
sub () {Y}
to the start of your script - although you might have to turn off
warnings to avoid message about redefinition of function calls
(untested)
I think Jez is in the same boat, as he couldn't run the script
either,
the other day without the same error.
I know from previous discussions with Jez that he's using quite an old
MinGW build.
Regards,
Rob.

I do remember having to play with removing a few of the new SDK tools (nmake for example) as the new ones don't play well with W98, but I'm afraid that I don't have any notes on anything else I may have done. If you post the error messages you are getting I may be able to help further. Regards, Rob.
Re: [win32gui] [perl-win32-gui-users] Toolbar style contants
Hi Rob, Thanks for the reply... Agree that I don't want to bloat the code and whist doing a bit more searching via the web, I found someone else similar plight and found a reference to the SDK. This is most likely the best option. I installed the Platform SDK from my MSDN subscription (should be the same) and get two extra directories: Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 (two sub dirs: Common7 and Vc7) Microsoft .NET both of which contain 'include' and 'lib' directories. In Visual C++ menu Tools-Options [Directories] tab I've set both the includes and lib paths Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003, and pushed them to the top of their lists. Do I have to do the same for the Microsoft .NET directory. Also noted that there is no 'commctrl.h' file in the .NET one either, so not sure how it works. Are there any other settings that had to be changed. I tried compiling again with these new settings and got the same error. In the meantime I've re-compiled using MinGW till I get it sorted. The reason I mentioned that Jez may be in the same boat, was because he installed the same version of Visual Studio and when I sent him toolbar.pl he got the same error, although he also had MinGW to fall back on. The reference to MinGW was that I wondered if I could use the MinGW header files instead of the Microsoft ones, but they appear to be in a difference format, so I'm guessing no...

The reason I mentioned that Jez may be in the same boat, was because he installed the same version of Visual Studio and when I sent him toolbar.pl he got the same error, although he also had MinGW to fall back on. Just to confirm, I do have the same issue. I know next to nothing about VC6:) Cheers, jez.
