Using 1531 on Windows 10 x64. Trying to compile the default GDI example (GDIExample.cpp) leads to: -- Starting build of Custom Studies Source files: GDIExample.cpp. -- 03:04:37 C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /C "C:\SierraChartScan\ACS_Source\VisualCCompile.Bat" C:\SierraChartScan\ACS_Source>call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" GDIExample.cpp Creating library GDIExample.lib and object GDIExample.exp GDIExample.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__CreateSolidBrush@4 GDIExample.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__DeleteObject@4 GDIExample.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__Rectangle@20 GDIExample.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__SelectObject@8 C:\SierraChartScan\Data\GDIExample.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 4 unresolved externals -- End of Build -- 03:04:49 All other studies compile fine, in some of my other studies I even use Boost, and still no problem, all compiles fine.

I added the line below to the top of the DLL and got it to compile but in my case there was no box drawn? #include <fcntl.h> On the little research I did this is for the Windows file descriptors like "_O_TEXT" and is not included in SC header file (not in scstructures anyway).
