Question

I’m modifying the STablUpd code example on MSDN (For editing string tables in resources) however, I’m running into a few errors.

The code that the errors are situated in is

HSTRBLOCK strBlock = GetStringBlockW( L"file.exe", 7, MAKELANGID(LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_UK) );
UINT str1Len;
GetStringLength( strBlock, str1Len );
LPWSTR pszString1;
GetStringW(strBlock, 6, pszString1 );
MessageBox(NULL, (LPCSTR) pszString1, NULL, NULL);

and the errors I receive are as follows

Error   4   error C2065: 'pszString1' : undeclared identifier   tabledlg.c  190 1   STablUpd
Error   5   error C2065: 'pszString1' : undeclared identifier   tabledlg.c  191 1   STablUpd
Error   8   error C2065: 'pszString1' : undeclared identifier   tabledlg.c  192 1   STablUpd
Error   3   error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'pszString1'  tabledlg.c  190 1   STablUpd
Error   2   error C2275: 'LPWSTR' : illegal use of this type as an expression   tabledlg.c  190 1   STablUpd

Any anybody point out if there are any errors in this please, I’ve checked but the code seems fine to me.

Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

It appears that LPWSTR is not defined. Either you’re missing an include, or you’re including the file but the type is excluded by some pre-processor directives.

See this for more info.
