Re: [ruby-ffi] Function 'LoadIconMetric' not found in [kernel32, user32, gdi32, comctl32] (FFI::NotFoundError)

You've fallen prey to a great way to not get a response; making one work harder in order to help.

Always provide a minimal failing code snippet. Laziness can be great, but you're being too lazy ;)

That said, assuming something like pestudio or dependency walker failed to find these symbols, could LoadIconMetric be a macro wrapping another API? I don't have vc++ or the platform sdk on this machine to check, but spelunking the headers might get you unstuck since

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb775701%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

is minimally helpful.

Hello ruby-ffi,

I am attempting to attach to the LoadIconMetric Windows API function which is part of comctl32. The function is not found and so can never be attached.

The following 3 lines are taken from the top of one of the Microsoft VC++ sample projects cpp files:
// we need commctrl v6 for LoadIconMetric()
#pragma comment(linker,"/manifestdependency:\"type='win32' name='Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' version='6.0.0.0' processorArchitecture='*' publicKeyToken='6595b64144ccf1df' language='*'\"")
#pragma comment(lib, "comctl32.lib")

This function is required in order to make use of the Windows system tray icon API. I really hope there is a simple solution to this problem.

Thanks,
bawNg
