Environment:
cygcheck -s shows that I'm running the 1.5.25 version of cygwin1.dll.
I just updated my system a few days ago.
I'm trying to compile some C++ code using g++.
Documentation for the missing API function:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms644989.aspx
The Problem:
The above documentation states that the function should be located
in winuser.h but it's not. Its related function
DeregisterShellWindowHook is in winuser.h.
Even if I add a hand-coded prototype for this function, I get a
linker error stating that the RegisterShellWindowProc function was
unresolved. That's because it's not included in libuser32.a.
Workaround:
I am using GetProcAddress to access the function. For example:
::GetProcAddress(::GetModuleHandle("USER32.DLL"),
"RegisterShellHookWindow");
Thank you!
