RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] Anyone help?

Hi,
=20
Could be that I broke this when upping the _WIN32_IE constant to 0x0501. =
If you put that back to 0x0400 does it work again?

Hi,
=20
    Same problem for me. It's a problem of not up to date include file.=20
    For correct problem, i have tested those 3 methods.
    [RED =3D remove    BLUE =3D Add ]
=20
    1) Small change in Win32-GUI source but warming messag.
=20
        edit GUI.h and add this line :
        #define  WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
        #define _WIN32_IE 0x0501
        #define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0400
        #define WINVER 0x0501
   =20
    Now it's work, but you have a warming message.
=20
    2) Hack your default Windows.h header in include directory
=20
#ifndef WINVER
#define WINVER 0x0400 0x0501
#else=20
#if defined(_WIN32_WINNT) && (WINVER < 0x0400) && (_WIN32_WINNT > =
0x0400)
#error WINVER setting conflicts with _WIN32_WINNT setting
#endif
#endif
=20
#if(WINVER >=3D 0x0500)
#pragma message ("")
#pragma message ("NOTE: WINVER has been defined as 0x0500 or greater =
which enables")
#pragma message ("Windows NT 5.0 and Windows 98 features. When these =
headers were released,")
#pragma message ("Windows NT 5.0 beta 1 and Windows 98 beta 2.1 were the =
current versions.")
#pragma message ("")
#pragma message ("For this release when WINVER is defined as 0x0500 or =
greater, you can only")
#pragma message ("build beta or test applications.  To build a retail =
application,")
#pragma message ("set WINVER to 0x0400 or visit  =
<http://www.microsoft.com/msdn/sdk> http://www.microsoft.com/msdn/sdk")
#pragma message ("to see if retail Windows NT 5.0 or Windows 98 headers =
are available.")
#pragma message ("")
#pragma message ("See the SDK release notes for more information.")
#pragma message ("")
#endif
=20
    This force default WINVER and remove warning message.   =20
    It's probably not very safe if you use VC for other building.
=20
    3) You need to download and install last microsoft SDK.
=20
      see: =
http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/default.htm
      You need core SDK. It's a huge download.

I downloaded the updated files  and tried to build under Windows 2000
but I am getting the error below. Any help would be appreciated.
It would be nicer if the new updated version can be packed and update
the version number. I remember also I installed before the binary =
version
and was unable to build  from the source. I have VC6 on the computer.
