Symptom:
When compiling a Visual Basic 6 application the following error is generated when VB encounters the type "IUnknown":
Compiler error:
User-defined type not defined
Cause:
This error means simply that the VB compiler has encountered a type that it does not recognise. The compiler is assuming this to be a user-defined type because it is not a system defined one.
In the case of IUnknown this error indicates that the VB project is missing a reference to the OLE Automation library.
Remedy:
These notes apply specifically to the case where the unknown type is "IUnknown": add the following reference to the project:
C:\WinNT\System32\stdole2.tlb
substitute C:\Windows if using Windows 9x or XP.
These notes have been tested with Visual Basic 6 running under Windows NT and Windows 2000.Symptom:
