Rif.: Creating CSV file according with the international settings

[Wolfgang]

I am glad it's not only me...

I just tried it with the following result:

    GetLocaleInfoEx (LOCALE_NAME_USER_DEFAULT, LOCALE_SLIST, (LPWSTR)msg, 8);
    DebugPrintf ("List separator: %s\n", msg);

in my source code works as expected, provided I add the compiler defne (VISTA or newer)

However, in the interactive execution, with the same compiler define, the following code

#include <windows.h>

    static char    msg[8];

    GetLocaleInfoEx (LOCALE_NAME_USER_DEFAULT, LOCALE_SLIST, (LPWSTR)msg, 8);

gives an error:

Interactive Execution - 1 error, 1 warning
 5, 62    warning: cast from 'char *' to 'LPWSTR' (aka 'unsigned short *') increases required alignment from 1 to 2
 1, 1   error: Unresolved symbol: GetLocaleInfoEx

.... ah yes, and a question / suggestion... why is /DWINVER=_WIN32_WINNT_WIN7 not added by default - CVI2015 does not support Windows XP and VISTA anymore....?

My apologies for not having actually tested this before posting. I too was able to reproduce this linker error and, unlike the missing prototype compiler error, this one does seem to be related to the interactive window.

As best I can tell, you're running into a form of this issue. I can't explain why this happens for some SDK functions, but not for others -- even for functions that are also in kernel32.lib (e.g. LoadLibrary).

Wolfgang: I had forgotten that CVI 2015 no longer supports XP. You are correct. The default value of WINVER should not have been _WIN32_WINNT_WINXP. I've written CAR 544425 to address this.

Roberto: the macros are per-project (and per-build configuration!). You can look through this topic if you're ever unsure of the scope of some option in CVI.

Thank you for this list, I wasn't aware of this useful compilation.

That's indeed very useful: thank you for taking it to my attention! I'll save that page in my favourites.
