Only some API's seem to work in console mode

[dubae524]

Hey.

In a console app, I included like this:

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>

I used the MessageBox call, worked fine for me.

However, I tried to call the SHBrowseForFolder function, and the thing said that the function wasn't defined. Nor was LPBROWSEINFOW defined. I tried the same with GetOpenFileName and GetSaveFileName it said it wasn't defined.

Do you know what to do about this?

Include the shellapi.h header file. Or you might also have to include shell32.lib in your project settings if it's not already there.
