Question

Here’s the start of my program in Visual C++ 2010 Express:

#pragma comment(lib, "detoured.lib")
#pragma comment(lib, "detours.lib")

#include <Windows.h>
#include <detours.h>

HWND (WINAPI *pCreateWindow)(LPCWSTR lpClassName,
                             LPCWSTR lpWindowName, DWORD dwStyle,
                             int x, int y, int nWidth, int nHeight,
                             HWND hWndParent, HMENU hMenu, HINSTANCE hInstance,
                             LPVOID lpParam) = CreateWindow;

Visual C++’s IntelliSense is telling me that it can’t find CreateWindowW (even though I see it looking at the #define in Winuser.h and I can F12 to go to the function definition). It doesn’t compile, either.

dllmain.cpp(11): error C2065: 'CreateWindowW' : undeclared identifier

Any idea what’s happening?

Thanks,

Mike

Answer 1

Could it be because CreateWindowW() is really a macro that references CreateWindowExW()?

Try using CreateWindowExW() instead.
