unresolved external symbol _imp_exit
I get eight unresolved external symbols when i link my program. Seven are from the conio.h file (_imp_exit, _imp_getch, _imp_putch, etc.) and one is from bool setcursorposition(x,y). I don't know how i got this far since i never tried to program a pocket pc before. I am using (C++ win32) to build a console program. i got the program to compile and when i link it i get unresolved external symbol errors. i tried changing the functions "exit, getch, and the rest", then i could not build the cpp file. i believe i'm missing a library call. I scanned all the .lib files and did not find a fix.
i just got my copy of mvs2005 seven days ago. it's new to me but works real good.
is there a .lib that includes these functions?
thanks.

Pocket PC does not have a console and as a result does not have console I/O functions available. I suggest experimenting with Win32 GUI applications instead as a starting point. A book on Win32 (native) or Windows CE development is not out of question either
i do not know if i am on the right track !!! i read up on GUI. the only book i could find. what i did, was to put all my unresolved enternal symbols into my own functions. next i am going to pass the function's arguements to another program that paints the pocket pc screen. the conio.h functions will not work. from what i read about GUI, leads me to believe that my screen function will draw the text to the screen. i converted all the conio.h functions to voids in c++; from what i read about c++ this will work. now i have to build a sreen handler.
i now get stuck on error in crtdefs.h "Use of runtime internal header file".
i tried to change the include files so i did not access crtdefs.h , this should work from what i have seen on the net.
I get stuck on winnt.h "no target architecture".
on the command line for compile and link i typed the option /Wp64. under project-properties-linker-advanced-target machine i selected arm.
i missed the boat somewhere.
any help deserves great thanks.
Create your project as a SmartDevice C++ project. That would set all apropriate linker and compiler options. As for conio.h - there is no console nor console I/O on pocket pc. There is on generic CE device if the image includes it
I HAVE MVS 2005 STANDARD.I DO NOT THINK I CAN BUILD A NEW PROJECT THE WAY U SUGGESTED. I SELECT SMART DEVICE AND THEN I CANNOT SELECT ANYTHING ELSE.
SO I GO BACK TO BUILD NEW PROJECT. SELECT C++. SELECT WIN32 PROGRAM AND THAT WORKS. AND I STILL GET ALL THE SAME ERROR MESSAGES
ANYWAYS I AM LEARNING HOW THINGS WORK?
well guess what!!!! You got it to work. rarararara
i built a new project with c++, then win32 project.
the includes were all ok and it worked for win32.
my functions, that run the screen all compiled, linked, and i got my exe.
now im after the big pocket pc.
do i need the professional version or is the standard version ok.
and what do u suggest for drawtext.
i want to set the draw position x,y and draw a character.
i got Qt4 with GUI except i want to do it my way.
thanks again...
ps thanks again!!! rararara
simple as it is, i spent two weeks trying to figure that out.
this is the first windows program i wrote, in 35 years and i like it.
case WM_PAINT:hdc = BeginPaint(hWnd, &ps);
// font(hdc,TimesNewRomanBold);
// font 12,"ms shell hlg";
// font(hdc,-512);
// font.DrawText(hdc,put_char_to_screen_1,xpos,ypos,5);// DrawText(hdc,TEXT("xxxx"),xpos,ypos,5);
// DrawText(hdc,TEXT("this is a test"),-1,&rc, DT_LEFT | DT_TOP);
// DrawText(hdc,put_char_to_screen_1 , -1, &ps, DT_LEFT | DT_TOP);
// DrawText(hdc,LPCWSTR , -1, &ps, DT_LEFT | DT_TOP);
// nHeight = ::DrawText(m_hAttribDC, lpszString, nCount, &rect,nFormat
// int nHeight = ::DrawTextEx(m_hDC, lpszString, nCount, lpRect, nFormat, lpDTParams);
// TODO: Add any drawing code here...EndPaint(hWnd, &ps);
break;case WM_DESTROY:
i am trying to set a font and draw text. these are the commands i came up with.
any help would be appreciated.
Aside of some of the commented text not making much sense syntactically, the idea is correct. Use DrawText(hDC, string, .... ) to draw text on the window surface. To start you can just use default font, brush etc. Just leave
BeginPaint
DrawText
EndPaint
case WM_PAINT:hdc = BeginPaint(hWnd, &ps);
font.DrawText(hdc,put_char_to_screen_1,xpos,ypos,5);DrawText(hdc,put_char_to_screen_1 , 1, &ps, DT_LEFT | DT_TOP);EndPaint(hWnd, &ps);
put_char_to_screen_1 gives an error WCHAR is not LPCWSTR
&ps gives an error not a pointer.
I need to point to a rectangle, so i thought, y not the main window hWnd?
did not work
I changed my char to wchar to LPCWSTR
did not work
what i really want is font.DrawText
I can not even get DrawText to work
I tried building a new rectangle and pointing to it.
did not work
do u know of a search that explains more
i have tried this off and on for two weeks and i ran out of ideas
i tried looking at *.cpp files
no help
and textout is out of the question
i got drawtext to compile
idefined a string LPCWSTR abcxyz
and it worked
what does font mean in font.DrawText?
the compiler says its a "class/struct" problem
next i will send messages to drawtext
once i find out how.
question: when i compile my program in win32 i get a exe.
when i compile in either pocket pc i get the errors LPCONTEXT or PCCONTEXT.
do u known where there is more informatio on font.drawtext
i need to know what font stands for?
