SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Windows CE 5.0, when you use an OEM-provided Platform SDK to build the Debug configuration for a Windows CE 5.0 application that uses an ARMV4I-based device, you receive the following linker error message:
error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "void __cdecl ConstructElements(class CString *,int)"
CAUSE
This problem occurs if the ARMV4I version of the Mfcce400d.dll file that is provided in Windows CE 5.0 does not export the C function or the C++ function that contains the following code example:
void __cdecl ConstructElements(class CString *,int)
When this error occurs, a linker error message is generated.
