Hello. I use Borland C++ 5.0. I need to use the ShellExecute() function, but whenever I include the header file shellapi.h I get errors. Also, I am unable to find the import library shell32.lib on my PC. I think this could cause the errors I am getting. Does this happen to other Borland users? Please tell me where I can find the file shell32.lib. I have already tried searching for it on the Borland website.
Compiler:Borland C++ 5.0
Try only including the windows header file:
#include <windows.h>
Hello. I tried including windows.h instead of shellapi.h. However I still get an error. I have attached the source file. The function to check is void update(), and the line no. is 1006. Please tell me what is wrong.
The line I have inserted is...
ShellExecute(handle,"open","c:\\Sundeep\\Directory \\homepage.url",NULL,NULL,SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED);
You need the shell32.lib.....
If your compiler doesnt have it, then is it a windows compiler (sorry not familiar with Borland C++ compilers)
If it is a Windows compiler and you need shell32.lib, then download the Platform SDKI from Microsoft asn that will have all the libraries in their newest form
I'm sorry but I do not know whether my compiler is a windows compiler or not, as I am still quite a beginner. Could you please tell me what you mean by that?
