Hello!
I would like to now how i can use wsprintfW
I get this error when i try to use it [C++ Error] Unit2.cpp(179): E2451
Undefined symbol 'wsprintf_instead_use_StringCbPrintf_or_StringCchPrintf'
my code:
WCHAR wsz[256];
wsprintf(wsz, L"FilterGraph %08x pid %08x", (DWORD_PTR)pUnkGraph,
GetCurrentProcessId());
//Tobias

The error is intentional. Like the message says, wsprintf() has been
replaced with StringCbPrintf() and StringCchPrintf(). wsprintf() is
deprecated and is considered unsafe. So are similar functions, such
as lstrcpy(). Microsoft designed its newer Win32 SDK headers to
intentionally fail with linker errors on such functions. In order to
see that message in the first place, you obviously have the newer
headers installed. So you should do what the message says and use
StringCbPrintf() or StringCchPrintf() instead of wsprintf() from now
on.

explicitally rather than through the macro that you are currently
using, ie:
WCHAR wsz[256];
wsprintfW(wsz, L"FilterGraph %08x pid %08x", pUnkGraph,
GetCurrentProcessId());
