#include <shlobj.h> clash with Elevate edbenv.hpp

Wed, Jun 8 2011 9:18 PM	Permanent Link
IQA	Hi All, I use an #include <shlobj.h> in my program to access SHGetFolderPath and grab various folder paths for the Windows version being used and this works perfectly. I can grab theCSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA or the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA and so on. Trouble is when I include the ElevateDB components in the program it appears to clash with shlobj.h On compiling it brings up edbenv.hpp on line128, 129 and 130: static const System::ShortInt CSIDL_PERSONAL = 0x5; static const System::ShortInt CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA = 0x1c; static const System::ShortInt CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA = 0x23 With the error messages... [BCC32 Error] edbenv.hpp(128): E2040 Declaration terminated incorrectly [BCC32 Error] edbenv.hpp(129): E2040 Declaration terminated incorrectly [BCC32 Error] edbenv.hpp(130): E2040 Declaration terminated incorrectly Obviously there's a clash, just wondering if anyone else experiences this and if anyone can think of an easy workaround. Thanks, Phil.

IQA	OK I worked it out. I just moved the #include <shlobj.h> after the main.h #include "Main.h" #include <shlobj.h> This is only required when I use EDB components on the form.

There's an IFDEF on those defines, and they should only be included for lower versions of Delphi and C++Builder that left them out of the shlobj unit. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com
