Problem with comdlg32.inc

[edward muller]

Hello,

As I want to use the 'OpenfileDialog' and the 'SavefileDialog'
Functions, I tried to include the'comdlg32.inc' into my program.
But when compiling I get this error message:

Error 418 in C:\prog\pbdll\winapi\COMDLG32.INC(205:1): Statement expected
Line 205: $LBSELCHSTRING = "commdlg_LBSelChangedNotidy"

Can someone tell me, how I could fix this error ?
I'm using PB/dll 5.0.
thanks in advance

The latest API files are not compatible with PB/DLL 5 since it doesn't support string constants, you have to comment out each string constant for it to work.

From win32api.inc...

' IMPORTANT: This file is not compatible with PB/DLL 5.0 or PB/CC 1.0
' as is. It uses string equates which are only available in
' PB/CC 2.0 or later and PB/DLL 6.0 or later. You will need
' to comment out the string equates to use this file with
' the earlier compilers.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I did what you said and now the compiler
doesn't complain any longer about the include-file. But another
problem has occured.
This function worked very well without including the comdlg32:

SUB SetText(hndle AS LONG, txt AS STRING)
    SendMessage hndle, %WM_SETTEXT, 0, STRPTR(txt)
END SUB

But now since I inluced the comdlg32, I get this error:

Error 477 in c:\...\prog.bas(11,17): Syntax error
Line 11:  SendMessage hndle, %WM_SETTEXT, 0, STRPTR(txt)

Maybe someone give me a hint again.
Thank you very much.

Edward,

I can't tell what the problem is from the code you posted, however, check out the API 'SetWindowText' which does the same thing, ie:

  SetWindowText hWnd, ByCopy MyStr$

Hope that helps!
