Hello,
I am using Dev C++ and am wondering where the hell the function QueueUserWorkItem is located. I used API Viewer and found the function is in kernel32.dll but am wondering what .lib file would I need to add or if its some header file I'm missing.
Any help is appreciated.

If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
Tried linking the libkernel32.a file and including windows.h but doesn't work.Originally Posted by Salem
Have you got:
above all your #includes?Code:#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0500
Never heard of using that but just tried putting it above the includes and no luck.
What is the exact error message you are getting? The function is either missing from the header file, missing from the import library, or you have mistyped it in your code.
A quick search suggests that QueueUserWorkItem was added to the MinGW headers in July, 2005 and only made its way into Dev-C++ later. So you need to either get the latest version of Dev-C++, or update MinGW as this tutorial shows.
Alternatively, you can probably just paste the prototype into your code:
Code:BOOL WINAPI QueueUserWorkItem( LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE Function, PVOID Context, ULONG Flags );
It said the function could not be found. When adding the prototype into the code then it says undefined reference to the function. I am using 4.9.9.2 by the way. I'm guessing the libkernel32.a needs file needs updating?
I guess it depends on if the error message was a link-time message, or a compile time message. If it was a linker error, your lib file is at fault, and if it's a compiler error, you're missing the prototype. If linker error, and you don't want to deal with looking for a new lib file, you could use GetModuleHandle() and GetProcAddress(), and then as long as you have the correct .dll file on your system, everything will work.
