AW crashes when loading WINAPI.U32 functions

Question

Hi All,
I'm having a major problem with WINAPI.U32 because I can't
load the functions.
In a new Authorware file:-
Open New > Save as WINAPI Test.
Open Functions Window > Load MEMTOOLS.U32 > Click OPEN
and select "AllocMem" - Works Fine.
Load MEMTOOLS.U32 > Click OPEN and select "FreeMem" -
Works Fine.
Load MEMTOOLS.U32 > Click OPEN and select "PeekLong" -
Works Fine.
but when I; Load WINAPI.U32 > Click OPEN and select
"GetCursorPos" or "ReleaseDC" - AW crashes with the following
comments:
Authorware has encountered a problem and needs to close.
Sorry for the inconvenience. click here.
Under "click here":
AppName: authorware 7.exe AppVer 7.0.2.0 Modname: ntdll.dll
ModVer 5.1.2600.5512 Offset: 0000e450.
If any one can help or knows why this is happening and or how
I can fix it because it driving me crazy. :-(

Answer 1

Did you load any functions directly from User32.dll? If
there's something
loaded from User32.dll then OBP includes it in the list of
files for
publishing. You should be able to clear that selection on the
Files tab of
the publishing dialog. I don't think I've ever loaded
something direct from
User32.dll. Is the function you need from User32 not
available in the
Winapi32.u32?
