Dear Jimmy,

Here you have a working example. To build it go to FWH\samples and modify buildh32.bat this way:

cl.exe -nologo -c -O2 -W4 -wd4127 /TP /I%hdir%\include %1.c

then do: buildh32.bat jimmy

#include "FiveWin.ch"

FUNCTION Main()

   Test()

RETURN NIL

#pragma BEGINDUMP

#include <windows.h>
#include <shlobj.h>
#include <hbapi.h>

void test( void )
{
    CoInitialize(NULL);

    IProgressDialog* pProgress;
    HRESULT hr = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_ProgressDialog, NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, IID_IProgressDialog, (void**)&pProgress);

    if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
    {
        pProgress->SetTitle(L"Copying file...");
        pProgress->StartProgressDialog(NULL, NULL, PROGDLG_NORMAL, NULL);

        for (ULONG i = 0; i <= 100; i++)
        {
            pProgress->SetProgress(i, 100);
            Sleep(50);
        }

        pProgress->StopProgressDialog();
        pProgress->Release();
    }

    CoUninitialize();
}

HB_FUNC( TEST )
{
   test();
}

#pragma ENDDUMP

hi Antonio,

Here you have a working example.
To build it go to FWH\samples and modify buildh32.bat this way:

cl.exe -nologo -c -O2 -W4 -wd4127 /TP /I%hdir%\include %1.c

then do: buildh32.bat jimmy

THX for the Sample.

but i have problem to use CL.EXE as i do´nt have a File with that Name

c:\fwh64\samples\Iprogress>cl.exe -nologo -c -O2 -W4 -wd4127 /TP /I\include pprogres.c
Der Befehl "cl.exe" ist entweder falsch geschrieben oder konnte nicht gefunden werden.

i also have NO Folder called /TP/
Can you please give me a Tip what is missing ?

[Antonio Linares]

cl.exe is the C/C++ compiler for Visual Studio.

You have to install Visual Studio Community 2022 with C/C++ support.

i have Visual Studio Community 2022 installed, but there is NO CL.EXE on my PC (search using Everything) ?

do i need a newer Version of Visual Studio Community 2022 and change my hole Environment ?

[Antonio Linares]

Dear Jimmy,

When you install it, there is an option to install C/C++ support.

You may run the installer again and select it. No need to uninstall it.

Dear Jimmy,

I just built it using FWH\samples\buildh64.bat and adding the flag -TP to cl.exe and worked fine on first try

cl.exe may be grabbing that header file from a different path as I have this here:

c:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.22000.0\ucrt\stdio.h

c:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.19041.0\ucrt\stdio.h

[Antonio Linares]

check where your stdio.h is
