Taking a screenshot C++ cli

I've seen the following code that takes a screenshot and saves it as jpg, I've managed to compile and run it as win32 CONSOLE application,

But when I tried to use the following code in A windowsForm/CLI (there is just a button that should take a screenshot) project, I got the following errors:

Note: That I've included all the files needed

I looked up in MSDN, but I couldn't really understand the error messeges. Moreover, I had encountered similar messages in the past, i solved it but adding a .lib file

This time I tried adding, however it didn't solve the problem

#pragma comment( lib, "GdiPlus.lib" )

回答1:

Those functions are declared in gdi32.lib - not gdiplus.lib - and some might be in user32.lib.

回答2:

Those error messages mean that your code (or rather, the 'screenshooter' code) used 'symbols' (could be function names or variables, for instance) for which there is no code linked into the final binary.

To fix this, look up what libraries you need to link against for each of those symbols. For instance, GetDC appears to be defined in user32.lib, so make sure to link against that (possibly by using a #pragma directive as you did for GdiPlus.lib).
