Hi Michael,

That makes sense, thanks for the explanation. It doesn't seem like there's a public API for this function nor dll for that matter so I won't add the macro.

Kind regards,

Mohamad

Hello,

WINELIB_NAME_AW is only needed if the public API would have also a
ConstructPartialMsgV macro. Which based on UNICODE being defined or not
translates to either ConstructPartialMsgVW or ConstructPartialMsgVA.
On Wine that would translate to
ConstructPartialMsgV_must_be_suffixed_with_W_or_A_in_this_context to generate an
error.

It's basically and old kludge by MS to make porting old ansi code to unicode easier.

bye
