Answer 1

Hello,

             I found wcS Methods for the above problem "WcsSetCalibrationManagementState" and "WcsGetCalibrationManagementState". But can these functions be used in visual studio 2005? If not, what are the new dll's, changes needed to use it in visual studio 2005?

Thnx

We have no Visual Studio 2005 installed on the system to test it now, the Visual Studio we have are Visual Studio 2008 and 2010, I think you just can have a try to use this function.

And it seems that the WcsSetCalibrationManagementState function is new form Windows SDK 7 [you can query this function definition form the header file], but you can use the Windows SDK 7 with your Visual Studio 2005, but this function will only available when in the Windows 7 System as it said in the header file: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Include\Icm.h

#if NTDDI_VERSION >= NTDDI_WIN7

BOOL WcsGetCalibrationManagementState (
    __out BOOL *pbIsEnabled
    );

BOOL WcsSetCalibrationManagementState (
    __in BOOL bIsEnabled
    );
    
#endif

With these links help you could use your Visual Studio 2005 with the new Windows SDK:
