I have a deployed version of powerbuilder 2021 build 1288 and when accessing a calendar dropdown the application crashes with this error.

I have these two functions in my code which call the user32.dll which is directly where the error message is pointing to. I have a copy of user32.dll in my deployed workspace and for some reason the error is still occurring - other .dlls seem to be working fine.

FUNCTION ulong win_GetFocus() ALIAS FOR "GetFocus" LIBRARY "user32.dll"

FUNCTION ulong win_GetClassName(ulong hwnhttps://i.stack.imgur.com/7PmNS.pngd, ref string cname, int buf) ALIAS FOR "GetClassNameW" LIBRARY "user32.dll"

The correct definition for GetClassName is:

Function long GetClassName ( longptr hWnd, Ref string lpClassName, long nMaxCount ) Library "user32.dll" Alias For "GetClassNameW"

The string argument must be prefilled with the Space function before calling it. MaxCount is the number passed to the Space function. I would use 250.

In addition to what Roland has pointed out, I do not think it wise to place a copy of a Windows system DLL in your application's deployed workspace/folder.

Thanks, makes sense, was unsure if it was correctly referencing any DLLs initially so that's why I put it in the deployed workspace but will take it out now.
