POLINK: error: Unresolved external symbol 'CheckDlgButton'
« on: April 12, 2008, 04:50:23 PM »
I have problems linking the functions CheckDlgButton() and IsDlgButtonChecked() in pocket PC applications.

For investigation I started a new project using the pocket PC application wizard. I added a check box in main.rc and CheckDlgButton() in main.c.

From the linker I get the message "POLINK: error: Unresolved external symbol 'CheckDlgButton'".

Adding the user32.lib to the linker objects gave no solution.

CheckRadioButton() can be linked without link error, but IsDlgButtonChecked() is necessary for this way too.

Vers.: Pelles C 4.50.113.

Please give some help.

In version 5.0 (beta), the following definitions are available for Windows CE (CheckDlgButton and IsDlgButtonChecked are not real exported functions like on desktop Windows):

Code: [Select]
__inline UINT WINAPI IsDlgButtonChecked(HWND hDlg, int nIDButton) {
    return SendDlgItemMessage((hDlg), (nIDButton), BM_GETCHECK, (WPARAM)0, (LPARAM)0);
}
Code: [Select]
__inline BOOL WINAPI CheckDlgButton(HWND hDlg, int nIDButton, UINT uCheck) {
    return SendDlgItemMessage((hDlg), (nIDButton), BM_SETCHECK, (WPARAM)uCheck, (LPARAM)0);

perhaps you can use this for now in 4.50...?

Thanks Pelle!

Your posted code solves my problem (in vers. 4.50..).

Is an overview available which WinAPI-functions for desktop Windows are exported to WinCE?

Make Microsoft MSDN your friend, it is the source for WinAPI.

Following Microsoft MSDN the functions IsDlgButtonChecked() and CheckDlgButton() are available under Windows Mobile. I checked this before my first post.
