shlobj.pp SHStartNetConnectionDialogA problem

[440bx]

Hello,

shlobj.pp defines the following:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1.   function SHStartNetConnectionDialogA(hwnd:HWND; pszRemoteName:lpcstr; dwType:DWord):HRESULT;StdCall;external External_library name 'SHStartNetConnectionDialogA';
2.   function SHStartNetConnectionDialogW(hwnd:HWND; pszRemoteName:lpcwstr; dwType:DWord):HRESULT;StdCall;external External_library name 'SHStartNetConnectionDialogW';
3.  

The problem is the _named_ function SHStartNetConnectionDialogA  does _not_ exist from WinXP onwards.  A program that statically uses that function will fail to load.

The "W" entry point does exist.

FYI: SHStartNetConnectionDialogA is available as ordinal 12 (unnamed and undocumented) from Win XP to Win 11.

It would probably be indicated to remove SHStartNetConnectionDialogA  or at least put a comment that the function is not available from Win XP onwards and to use the "W" version instead since that one is available.

HTH.
