FSXA Some compil errors with SimConnect

[JardY]

Hi,

First, sorry for my english skill, I'm french.

In fact, I'm trying to compile the sample code from the MSDN website : RequestData.

So I have installed according with my FSX version, the SDK following the following procedure :

FSX Acceleration Pack users
To install the SDK for FSX Acceleration Pack:
1. First install the RTM SDK from FSX Deluxe Edition disk 1, (see FSX RTM users instructions above).
2. Insert your Acceleration Pack DVD.
3. Browse to the subfolder called SDK\SP1a\
4. Install the SDK SP1A from there using fsx_sdk_sp1a.exe, (dated 26/09/2007, size 165,569KB).
5. Browse to the folder called SDK\
6. Install the Acceleration SP2/XPack SDK using sdk.msi, (dated 06/10/2007, size 216,929KB).

With VS 2010 Express Edition, I have created a new console Win32 project and put the RequestData sample code into a new main.cpp file.

SimConnect.h & SimConnect.lib are copied in the VS folders : VS\lib and VS\include.

In my project properties, I have add "SimConnect.lib" in the additionnal links (command line).

And finally, when I'm compiling, I have to following errors :

Someone have a idea about that ?

Thanks a lot for helping !

Errors have to be addressed beginning with the very first listed. Quite often there really is only ONE error, the rest being generated because of the first!

1>c:userslaurentdocumentsvisual studio 2010projectsrequestdatarequestdatamain.cpp(75): error C2143: erreur de syntaxe*: absence de ';' avant '->'

If you double-click on the error line, it will highlight line 75 in your .cpp file. You have a syntax error. The compiler found a ";" before a "->"...

See below the first error @ line 75




switch(pObjData->dwRequestID)
{
case REQUEST_1:
{
DWORD ObjectID = pObjData->dwObjectID;
Struct1 *pS = (Struct1*)&pObjData;->dwData;
if (SUCCEEDED(StringCbLengthA(&pS;->title[0], sizeof(pS->title), NULL))) // security check
{
printf("\nObjectID=%d Title=\"%s\"\nLat=%f Lon=%f Alt=%f Kohlsman=%.2f", ObjectID, pS->title, pS->latitude, pS->longitude, pS->altitude, pS->kohlsmann );
}
break;
}

Try removing the ";" in both lines 75 and 76...

Resolved...

The Copy / Paste from the website MSDN is not a good idea !

Thanks !

Ah! I'm glad you got it sorted out!
