shlobj.pp SHOpenPropSheetA potential problem

« on: September 12, 2025, 05:25:16 am »

Hello,

shlobj.pp defines SHOpenPropSheetA but, that function no longer exists in Win 7 through Win 11.

In does exist in Win XP. I do not know if it exists in Vista.

Anyway, it might be worth adding a comment to SHOpenPropSheetA in shlobj.pp noting that the function is only guaranteed to be available in Win XP (it might be available in the Win9x series but, I have not checked, therefore I don't know.)

HTH.
