LNK2019 Compile Issues

[cybanski]

Hello,

I am trying to compile a simple CLR C++ using WinForms that displays live information on the screen in a small window. RequestData.cpp was used as an example, and I have had good success with that, but it sends the data to the console rather than a window. I have also been able to successfully compile a CLR C++ WinForm that draws a simple window.

There are issues trying to combine the two. The SimConnect_Open(&BFC, "Request Data", NULL, 0, 0, 1) call at the end is where the problems start. If I comment out this line, the code compiles no problem. It could be a linking problem, but I have triple-checked all the SDK setup steps. Does anyone have experience with C++ WinForms and SimConnect?

Thanks

Hi,

Yes I have a basic version working. Have you followed these instructions to the letter? https://www.prepar3d.com/SDKv5/sdk/simc ... jects.html

The LNK errors are normally caused because it can't find the library in question and resolve the symbols

Of particular importance is using VS2019, making sure your project is X64, making sure the include and library paths are included and the Simconnect.lib (or debug version) is included in the command section of the linker.

Also, you must use the debug library for debugging and the normal version for release. Sound obvious, but it will cause further errors if you try and mix them.

I've assumed you know what you're doing with visual studio, so kept it brief as the instructions are in the link provided. Let me know if there's anything you are unsure of.

Cheers,

Mark.

P.s. make sure this hasn't slipped back to X86 or Win32 whilst you're changing settings.
