OLE Linker problem
-
Hello,
i have a class that implements the QWinHost, so that i could use the win32 API and perform drag and drop with OLE.
I have included the
@#include <ole2.h>
#include <shlobj.h>@ in my Droptarget class.But i get a problem tryint to initilize the OLE
@void initOle(HWND parent){
// initialize the OLE library
OleInitialize(NULL);lpDropTarget = (LPDROPTARGET)new TDropTarget(parent); CoLockObjectExternal(lpDropTarget, true, true); // register the Handle to this Widget as a drop target RegisterDragDrop(parent, lpDropTarget); }@Error Message
@

Thanks in Advance

THe functions are located in the header.
To make the story easier to understand, i just created a simple window:
@
#include "mainwindow.h"
#include <windows.h>
#include <QApplication>void DisplayDataObject(IDataObject *pDataObject)
{
FORMATETC fmtetc = { CF_TEXT, 0, DVASPECT_CONTENT, -1, TYMED_HGLOBAL };
STGMEDIUM stgmed;// ask the IDataObject for some CF_TEXT data, stored as a HGLOBAL if(pDataObject->GetData(&fmtetc, &stgmed) == S_OK) { // We need to lock the HGLOBAL handle because we can't // be sure if this is GMEM_FIXED (i.e. normal heap) data or not char *data = (char *)GlobalLock(stgmed.hGlobal); printf("%s\n", data); // cleanup GlobalUnlock(stgmed.hGlobal); ReleaseStgMedium(&stgmed); }}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);IDataObject *pDataObject; // Initialize COM and OLE if(OleInitialize(0) != S_OK) return 0; // Access the data on the clipboard if(OleGetClipboard(&pDataObject) == S_OK) { // access the IDataObject using a separate function DisplayDataObject(pDataObject); pDataObject->Release(); } // Cleanup OleUninitialize(); MainWindow w; w.show(); return a.exec();}
@THe code can be copied into the main.cpp of a new Qt-Widget-Application project.
And i get the following error:
@
main.obj : error LNK2019: .......... "__imp__ReleaseStgMedium@4" in Funktion ""void __cdecl DisplayDataObject(struct IDataObject *)" (?DisplayDataObject@@YAXPAUIDataObject@@@Z)".main.obj : error LNK2019: ....... "__imp__OleUninitialize@0" in Funktion "_main".
main.obj : error LNK2019:........ "__imp__OleGetClipboard@4" in Funktion "_main".
main.obj : error LNK2019:......"__imp__OleInitialize@4" in Funktion "_main".

Can you post the code for these functions?
ReleaseStgMedium()
OleUninitialize()
OleGetClipboard()
OleInitialize()Are these functions in a third party library? Either you need to add the dependency of the library to your solution, or you need to have the .cpp files that contains the definition of these functions in your code.
It's not enough to have the functions listed in the header (unless they're inlined), you need to have the .cpp files that contain the definition of these functions.
Example:
In the header file
// Example.h
class Foo
{
Foo();
~Foo();
int OleInitialize(); //Declaration
int OleUninitialize(); // Declaration
};// Example.cpp
int Example::OleInitialize() // Definition
{
int x = 5;
return x;
}Every function needs to have a definition if it's being called. It's not enough to just have the declaration of a function and calling it. If you're using a third party library, you need to add that library to your dependency in order for it to work.
