Hi Bob, I've little experience with helping other people on this forum. When I have a program in which I would need the Windows API. I do include windows.h in the source file and have the following list of Windows API libraries on the link command line.
-l:libkernel32.a -l:libuser32.a -l:libshell32.a -l:libadvapi32.a\ -l:libws2_32.a -l:liboleaut32.a -l:libimm32.a -l:libwinmm.a -l:libole32.a\ -l:libuuid.a -l:libopengl32.a -l:libole32.a -l:libgdi32.a -l:libcomdlg32.a I do believe the function GetSaveFileNameW would need other Windows API libraries to be able to do it's job. Are you willing to try this?
