C API to user32.dll in Notes 8.5.1 eclipse doesn't work

HCL Notes/Domino 8.5 Forum (includes Notes Traveler)

Subject: C API to user32.dll in Notes 8.5.1 eclipse doesn't work

Feedback Type: Problem

Product Area: Notes Client

Technical Area: Functionality

Platform: Windows XP client

Release: 8.5.1

Reproducible: Always

We have a Notes application that uses the notes C API to access the windows user32.dll file to create slick GUI popup menus. This application has worked in 6.x and 7.x Notes platforms. It also works on the 8.x BASIC configuration of Notes.

When we try the application in Notes 8.x eclipse platform, the popup menus do not work. (We've tried 8.0.2 and 8.5.1).

Is there a work around for this, or quick fix, instead of recoding our application to work on the Notes 8.x eclipse platform? What happened to backward compatability, Lotus? A resolution should be addressed and incorporated into the next fix release of Notes - PlEASE!

Same issue documented here:

Anyone else see this? How'd you fix/workaround?
