Trying to use SHCreateShellItem, having #include issues
- by dreamlax
There is a function in called SHCreateShellItem which is declared in <shlobj.h>, but it has been #ifdef'd out based on whether or not _WIN32_IE is greater than or equal to 0x601 (if it is, then the declaration is present). However, even when I define _WIN32_IE to 0x601 before I include <shlobj.h>, MSVC++ still complains that SHCreateShellItem is undeclared.
For example, I cannot get the following to compile:
#define _WIN32_IE 0x601
#include <shlobj.h>
int someFunction (LPITEMIDLIST parent, LPITEMIDLIST child)
{
HRESULT result;
IShellItem *shellObj;
result = SHCreateShellItem (parent, NULL, child, &shellObj);
if (SUCCEEDED(result))
{
// do stuff
}
return SUCCEEDED(result);
}
Do I need to define _WIN32_IE in a different way?
