Hi Peter,

It could be several things. For example:

1: Declaration of ChoosePixelFormat

2: Is #case capital being used .. PFD pfd.

my ImgWin.inc uses #case capital for the C style headers and this can be disruptive if some of the symbol names are capitalised in some places but not others. I have had to rework some of my examples when adding imgwin/GDIplus for this reason.

Hi Peter,

I'm using low level GetClientRect in the GUI examples, and that expression works for them

May we see your code?

Hi Peter,

can you show me the full prototypes + code. I need the full works to investigate. Otherwise I'm only guessing.

I am not sure whether these are the problem:

If a prototype specifies a 'byref' parameter then the parameter should be passed as is. Not its '&' address. The compiler does that automatically.

If you need to pass a null pointer to a 'byref' parameter then you must not use '0'. Instead use 'byval 0' to force it! Otherwise the compiler will create a temp variable and store 0 in it then pass the address of the temp variable. This will often cause a GPF.
