Hello! Every time I download and install a new DevExpress version I get the following error:
[BCC32 Error] Dxgdiplusapi.hpp(453): E2040 Declaration terminated incorrectly
in line
static const int PixelFormat32bppPARGB = 0xe200b;
(line 453 of Dxgdiplusapi.h).
Commenting the line the problem dissapear and nothing bad seems to happen, but I don't like that kind of "solutions".
Maybe you can help me.
Thanks!
We have fixed the issue described in this ticket and will include the fix in our next maintenance update. To apply this solution before the official update, request a hotfix by clicking the corresponding link for product versions you require.
Note: Hotfixes may be unavailable for beta versions and updates that are about to be released.
This error occurs after installing 13.2.5. The problem apparently has not been solved
You are right, the behavior is not changed yet. For now, you can use the solution provided by Jose, which is absolutely correct.
Hello,
A similar problem has been already discussed in our Support Center. Please refer to the include Gdiplus.h & dxBar.hpp ticket for the information.
Thanks, Paul, but the solution given in that ticket is to update to the most recent DevExpress library, and I have already done that. In fact, updating to the last buil makes the problem raise again, and this means that it overwrites Dxgdiplusapi.hpp. So the problem is still there.
Thanls.
Hello,
It seems you are right, the problem is still there. It looks like the PixelFormat32bppPARGB constant is declared twice when you include the Gdiplus.h unit. I have informed our developers about this scenario, and they will consider the possibility to fix this problem with future versions of our controls. For now, you can use your solution, which is absolutely correct.
