Thanks Alexander. I have tried it but ran into some trouble. Two questions:
1. If I want compatibility with older OSes, I need to ONLY use the /no_robust switch on my MIDL compiler line (and I don't need /D_WIN32_WINNT=0x500) ?
2. What I understood from your response is that I will only need no_robust (because I want compatibility for all)....I tried this:
midl /ms_ext /app_config /c_ext /no_robust bgcomint.idl
and at compile I get:
midl : command line warning MIDL1008 : unknown switch "no_robust"
Is my MIDL compiler not up to date? How can I fix this?
Thank you,
Robert
