TransparentBlt not found
Author
when using dev c++ i get the following error when using the TransparentBlt function:
'TransparentBlt' undeclared (first use this function)
i have libwinmm.a and libmsimg32.a linked to the project. When i searched to see if anyone else had this problem several results said to use "#define WINVER 0x0500", because some windows versions don't support transparentblt. I tried using this and it only led to more errors.
Ayone know whats going wrong?
Edit: Wrong answer, look below for a better explanation.
Be warned though: TransparentBlt is only available in later Windows versions (98+), and it creates memory leaks on the 9x line.

Actually using #define WINVER=0x0500 should solve the problem (note the '='!).
Are you certain of that? An assignment in a preprocessor define? What would the token be?

Crap, you're right. My bad!
Actually #define WINVER 0x0500 should be allright. If you set the WINVER macro in the preprocessor settings (i'm doing that for value defines) you do have to use the '=' though.
In Source code:
#define WINVER 0x0500
In preprocessor settings (Visual Studio for example):
WINVER=0x0500
There ought to be something similar for devc++.
I was gonna say... [smile]
Setting that macro in the preprocessor configuration is probably a good idea.
In source code, the define should placed before the include statement for windows.h, so that it's defined in the scope where it comes into play.
#define WINVER 0x0500
#include <windows.h>

Thanks for the replies. ya, it threw a fit at the '=', defining the version without the = seems to make it all work okay.
