- I finally found the answer to my question I posted here a while
- back, ALL BY MYSELF. I thought I would share this info.
-
- It was a simple answer, but took me several days.
-
- When you call an API, not only must you include the header
- file, but you must also modify your build settings to include
- the .LIB file. I didn't know that!! (dumb of me)
-
- From the BUILD menu select settings. Select the LINK tab and
- select the INPUT category. In the box under Object/Library
- Files type the library file name of any DLL's you are calling.
-
- Example: I was calling the MPR.DLL file so in the
- Object/Library Files I put MPR.LIB
-
- If anyone needs further explanation, send me an e-mail.
-
- P.S. I've been helped a lot by this newsgroup, so i'm just
- trying to give back a little
