filectrl.hpp causes unresolved external

[Matthias Peters]

Hello,
when I use a function from filectrl.hpp (like SelectDirectory) and I
choose to build my Program without runtime packages I get a "unresolved
external" error. I read of other people having the same problem, but
nobody had a solution so far. Can anyone of you please help us?

regards Matthew

sorry, I`ve found the error myself: "filectrl.hpp" must be included in the
.h file, not in the .cpp unti.

try this:

- open the project XML (bpr)
- find LIBRARIES and SPARELIBS tags
- add vclx50.lib within both tags

new tags should look like this:

<LIBRARIES value="vcl50.lib vclx50.lib"/>
<SPARELIBS value="vcl50.lib vclx50.lib"/>

- save and rebuild all
