[Done] Polink error

[va!n]

The command "SetConsoleDisplayMode_" gives here a polink error

Code: Select all

dwOldMode=0 
Result=GetConsoleDisplayMode_(@dwOldMode) 
hOut=GetStdHandle_(#STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE) 
switch=1 
SetConsoleDisplayMode_(hOut, switch, @dwOldMode)

polink error with following API call from User32.dll too...

Code: Select all

GetInputDesktop_()

[Fred]

GetInputDesktop_() is fixed. But for SetConsoleDisplay() it's not supported in the MS kernel32.lib file, while GetConsoleDisplay() is... Weird, so i removed from the build in PB declaration, you will have to use OpenLibrary()/GetFunction() to fix it.

Surely it should be in kernel32.lib. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/defau ... aymode.asp

[netmaestro]

Code: Select all

If OpenLibrary(0,"kernel32.dll")
  Debug GetFunction(0,"GetConsoleDisplayMode")
  Debug GetFunction(0,"SetConsoleDisplayMode")
  CloseLibrary(0)
EndIf

The functions are in the dll anyways, but I guess the set version's not available in the lib?

Code: Select all

Import "kernel32.lib"
   GetConsoleDisplayMode(a.l)
   SetConsoleDisplayMode(a.l)
EndImport

 Getconsoledisplaymode(1)
 Setconsoledisplaymode(1)

If you run this snippet you get an unresolved external on SetConsoleDisplayMode, but Get is ok. Comment the Set out and no errors. So it can't be in there.

[Trond]

But did you test it with Microsoft's lib?

[netmaestro]

Code: Select all

Import "d:\platform sdk\lib\kernel32.lib"
   GetConsoleDisplayMode(a.l)
   SetConsoleDisplayMode(a.l)
EndImport

Getconsoledisplaymode(1)
Setconsoledisplaymode(1)

Yup. Same deal.

Requires Windows Vista or Windows XP.

I guess that's the reason why the lib shipped with PB doesn't support it.

[Fred]

I tested with the kernel32.lib from the VC Express 2005 package which should be uptodate, and it's not supported.

PB v4 final:
using "SetConsoleDisplayMode_ " with v4 final, gives a polink error. i think you forgot to delete this command from the list (as it should only work with using import lib)!? I think using the direct API call, should allert something like "unknown command" instead a polink error ^^

[Fred]

Fixed.
