windows-sys crate breaks native-windows-gui (GetWindowSubclass could not be found on .exe load)

[bmorin]

I updated to the latest curl, which brought in schannel. schannel switched from winapi to windows-sys. windows-sys seems incompatible with native-windows-gui.

Was able to work around via adding the following to Cargo.toml:

# 0.1.20 broke native-windows-gui because it brings in windows-sys
schannel = "=0.1.19"

similar problems here.trying to make native-windows-gui work with mio-0.8.3

[dependencies] mio = {version = "0.8",features = ["os-poll", "net"]} native-windows-gui = "1.0" native-windows-derive = "1.0"

compile succeed but can not start.

(exit code: 0xc0000139, STATUS_ENTRYPOINT_NOT_FOUND)

the procedure entry point GetWindowSubclass could not be located in the dynamic link library

I've been using the embed-manifest crate for this:

It's just a couple of functions that you add to your build.rs

For those searching for this issue, the previous comments had the solution but it was quite a time to read them.

Add to your root dir:
appname.exe.manifest
appname-manifest.rc
build.rs

appname.exe.manifest

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
<assemblyIdentity
    version="1.0.0.0"
    processorArchitecture="*"
    name="app"
    type="win32"
/>
<dependency>
    <dependentAssembly>
        <assemblyIdentity
            type="win32"
            name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls"
            version="6.0.0.0"
            processorArchitecture="*"
            publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df"
            language="*"
        />
    </dependentAssembly>
</dependency>
</assembly>

appname-manifest.rc

#define RT_MANIFEST 24
1 RT_MANIFEST "aiapp.exe.manifest"

build.rs

extern crate embed_resource;
fn main() {
    embed_resource::compile("aiapp-manifest.rc");
}

Add to your Cargo

[build-dependencies]
embed-resource = "1.8"

Note: it's a BUILD dep, not a regular dependancy.
