Compile error with GetMessageA

[Ryan]

Question:

When I write such code:

catch(pdftron::Common::Exception& ex)
{
    std::cout << ex.GetMessage() << std::endl;
}

I get compilation error:

error C2039: 'GetMessageA': is not a member of 'pdftron::Common::Exception'

Answer:

GetMessage is a windows macro, either

#define GetMessage GetMessageA

or

#define GetMessage GetMessageW

depending on unicode setting.

Before including the PDFNet headers, add the following

#undef GetMessage

If you need to also use the windows version, be explicit, for example 

::GetMessageA
