Hi,

I have a simple dll... I thought I would put the gui there

#include <CtrlLib/CtrlLib.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include "ultimatewindll.h"

using namespace Upp;

BOOL APIENTRY DllMain(HANDLE hModule, DWORD reason, LPVOID lpReserved)
{
switch (reason) {
case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:
break;
case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH:
break;
case DLL_THREAD_ATTACH:
break;
case DLL_THREAD_DETACH:
break;
}
return TRUE;
}

DllExport void PromptOK2(char * Str)
{

PromptOK("Hello world");
}

When I compile
----- ultimatewindll ( DLL SSE2 GUI MAIN MSC9 WIN32 MSC ) (8 / Cool

cd d:\m\upp\ultimatewindll

I get unresolved external..
I guess it could be a bug....
Or can you tell me how to resolve this?

Hi aftershock,

Could you please post also the content of 'ultimatewindll.h'?

#ifndef _UppDll_UppDll_h
#define _UppDll_UppDll_h

#define DllImport extern "C" __declspec(dllimport)
#define DllExport extern "C" __declspec(dllexport)

#ifdef flagDLL
	#define DLLIMPORT __declspec(dllexport)
#else
	#define DLLIMPORT __declspec(dllimport)
#endif

DLLIMPORT void PromptOK2(char* str);

#endif

#include <CtrlLib/CtrlLib.h>

#include <windows.h>
#include "UppDll.h"

using namespace Upp;

BOOL APIENTRY DllMain(HANDLE hModule, DWORD reason,  LPVOID lpReserved)
{
	switch (reason) {
	case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:
			Ctrl::InitWin32(AppGetHandle());
			AppInitEnvironment__();
		break;
	case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH:
		Ctrl::ExitWin32();
		break;
	case DLL_THREAD_ATTACH:
		break;
	case DLL_THREAD_DETACH:
		break;
	}
	return TRUE;
}

DLLIMPORT void PromptOK2(char* str)
{
	PromptOK(str);
}

#include <CtrlLib/CtrlLib.h>

#include <windows.h>
#include "UppDll.h"

using namespace Upp;

BOOL APIENTRY DllMain(HANDLE hModule, DWORD reason,  LPVOID lpReserved)
{
	switch (reason) {
	case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:
			Ctrl::InitWin32(AppGetHandle());
			AppInitEnvironment__();
		break;
	case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH:
		Ctrl::ExitWin32();
		break;
	case DLL_THREAD_ATTACH:
		break;
	case DLL_THREAD_DETACH:
		break;
	}
	return TRUE;
}

DLLIMPORT void PromptOK2(char* str)
{
	PromptOK(str);
}

This should work. See Ctrl::InitWin32(AppGetHandle()); and AppInitEnvironment__(); in DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH and Ctrl::ExitWin32() in DLL_PROCESS_DETACH. If you don't have to put anything else in DllMain you may use DLL_APP_MAIN to hide U++ initialization and cleanup.

When you use it don't forget to add path to directory where *.lib file of dll is.

You seem to find other problems with the code.. That is good, thanks
However, one problem seems to be
unresolved external symbol "void __cdecl Upp::PromptOK(char const *)" (?PromptOK@Upp@@YAXPBD@Z) referenced in function _P
romptOK2
meaning some libraries and I mean part of standard upp library is not added to the linker as far I can see it.
That is why I thought it could be a bug or i did not use a compilation flag...
What do you think why?
