error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "extern "C" ...

[=?Utf-8?B?TWF0ZXVzeiBSYWpjYQ==?=]

Hi! How can I fix this error?

Error 1 error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "extern "C" long __stdcall
SHFlushClipboard(void)" (?SHFlushClipboard@@$$J10YGJXZ) UnmanagedTest.obj
Basically I am calling the SHFlushClipboard method from "shlobj.h" (Win32)
in a managed c++ app.

According to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...hclipboard.asp
you need to link against shell32.lib. Poke around in your linker
settings.
