Hello,

I am upgrading to PB2022 and will compile as 64-bit. There is a third party tool called coolmenu in our software that is 32-bit. So far I cannot compile in 64-bit because the 32-bit coolmenu.dll. Has anyone else ran into this problem and if so what was the workaround.

Thank you in advance,

Mike

I was able to download the code for CoolMenu.dll and as John stated it is all C++ code. I am working though getting my visual studio environment setup to compile C++ projects. I would love to refactor the CoolMenu.dll out of the application but I am not sure how to do that. There is also another third party tool in our application called AdvanceGui (Ultimate Suite) that I am having problems with. Fortunately this product offers a PB2022 solution.

But for now I am going to try and compile the CoolMenu.dll as 64-bit.

Thanks to everyone for their time on this matter, I appreciate everyone!!

Ultimate Suite is 100% PowerBuilder code so it should compile to 64-bit without problems. If you do have problems, it is well supported.

All the features of CoolMenu are probably supported by Ultimate Suite so it would be better to switch to that.

The original source code is available here:  http://pbsite.milente.nl.  You could download the source code and recompile it for 64 bit
