DllCall incorrect suffix (A instead of W) Topic is solved

[MiM]

As docs state:

If no function can be found by the given name, an A (ANSI) or W (Unicode) suffix is automatically appended based on which version of AutoHotkey is running the script. For example, "MessageBox" is the same as "MessageBoxA" in ANSI versions and "MessageBoxW" in Unicode versions.

The thing is, with for example the DragQueryFile function if i don't specify A or W like so:

Code: Select all

DllCall("Shell32.dll\DragQueryFile".....

AutoHotkey chooses the wrong one for me (A)
I know i can do something like ~

Code: Select all

DragQueryFile := "Shell32.dll\DragQueryFile" . (A_IsUnicode ? "W" : "A")
DllCall(DragQueryFile.....

I'm just looking for an explanation why AutoHotkey chooses the wrong suffix for me.

My executable is AutoHotKey Unicode 64-Bit.

u should check ur shell32.dll, in mine DragQueryFile = DragQueryFileA = DragQueryFileAorW:

so nothing to do with AHK choosing the wrong suffix for u at all. in fact, AHK never did choose a suffix - the desired function already exists. in other words, take it up with microsoft

Hm alright, i guess it's my fault for using win8.1 (i assume it's "fixed" in win10 or whatever)
Annoying that this happens with quite a few functions, thanks for clarifying anyways!
