DoEvents()

[scecilia]

Hello,

In VisualC++ I have a program that calls DoEvents() and works just fine.

I moved the exact same code outside VisualC++, since I need it as a stand alone program. However, my DoEvents() now do cause linkage problems. These look like:

void DoEvents(void)
{
MSG msg;
while(PeekMessage(&msg,NULL,0,0,PM_REMOVE))
{
TranslateMessage(&msg);
DispatchMessage(&msg);
}
}

DoEvents processes Windows Messages in the message queue. C++ does not have a one command counterpart. What can I do? I need a DoEvents in plain C++! Anyone knows?

so do u need the C++ file for use in a separate compiler, or do you just want the executable?

if you only need the executable, open the project folder, and in debug, there's a .exe file. that's the program, which can be moved anywhere.

Hello,

FYI, I found the answer:

DoEvents is a function defined in a windows library, VC++ probably just automatically includes the library header, and link the library in when compiling/linking. Outside, you have to figure out which libraries you need to include.

I compiled and included the User32.LIB and everything went fine

Thanks,
