Question

i am very new to WTL here is code of onCreate of my main dialog

int Cwin32_mfcDlg::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct)
{
    if (CDialogEx::OnCreate(lpCreateStruct) == -1)
        return -1;

    // TODO:  Add your specialized creation code here
    MARGINS mar = {0};
    mar.cyBottomHeight = 100;
    DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea(m_hWnd,&mar);
    return 0;
}

but when i try to compile my project i get this error

error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea@8 referenced in function "public: int __thiscall Cwin32_mfcDlg::OnCreate(struct tagCREATESTRUCTA *)" (?OnCreate@Cwin32_mfcDlg@@QAEHPAUtagCREATESTRUCTA@@@Z)

and here is output:

and this is my StdAfx.h code:

// stdafx.h : include file for standard system include files,
// or project specific include files that are used frequently,
// but are changed infrequently

#pragma once

#ifndef _SECURE_ATL
#define _SECURE_ATL 1
#endif

#define VC_EXTRALEAN            // Exclude rarely-used stuff from Windows headers
#endif

#include "targetver.h"

#define _ATL_CSTRING_EXPLICIT_CONSTRUCTORS      // some CString constructors will be explicit

// turns off MFC's hiding of some common and often safely ignored warning messages
#define _AFX_ALL_WARNINGS

#endif
//#endif

this project is in MFC and Visual Studio 2010 and in Windows 7 x64

Was it helpful?

Solution

From the DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea() you need to link with Dwmapi.lib.
