Dear all,

My app uses the FlashWindowEx function.  It works great when running on Win98 or Win2000.  When the app runs on WinNT, I get the error "The procedure entry point FlashWindowEx could not be located in the dynamic link library USER32.DLL".

I understand that FlashWindowEx is not supported on WinNT, and my code checks for its availability (see below).  However, this error occurs IMMEDIATELY when I start the app, i.e. way before FlashWindowEx would ever be called.

How can I get the app to start on WinNT?

Thanks!
JR


PS. The code I use to check for the availability of FlashWindowEx is below.  It borrows heavily off code others have posted here.  The mechanics of how the OS version is checked do not seem to be relevant, because the error occurs prior to this check being done.

// Is this WinNT or Win95?
OSVERSIONINFO ver;
ver.dwOSVersionInfoSize = sizeof(OSVERSIONINFO);
GetVersionEx(&ver);
bool newversion = false;
if (ver.dwPlatformId == VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_WINDOWS) { // Win9x
  if ((ver.dwMajorVersion) == 4 && (ver.dwMinorVersion > 0))
    newversion = true; // Win98
  } else
    if (ver.dwMajorVersion > 4)
      newversion = true; // Win2000,XP
if (newversion) {
  FLASHWINFO info = {sizeof(FLASHWINFO), 0};
  info.hwnd = Application->Handle;
  info.dwFlags = FLASHW_ALL | FLASHW_TIMERNOFG;
  info.uCount = 100;
  FlashWindowEx(&info);
} else
  FlashWindow(Application->Handle, true);
