Hi,

I've compiled successfully by modifing win32uiExt.h:
1. add before "template <class T> const AFX_MSGMAP_ENTRY 
CPythonWndFramework<T>::_messageEntries[] = {" (line 391)
_________________________________________
#define ThisClass CPythonWndFramework<T>
_________________________________________
and after "{0, 0, 0, 0, AfxSig_end, (AFX_PMSG)0 }
};" 
(line 413)
_________________________________________
#undef ThisClass 
_________________________________________
 
2. Change "afx_msg UINT OnNcHitTest(CPoint pt) " by
"afx_msg LRESULT OnNcHitTest(CPoint pt)" (line 293)
 
 
3 . replace the definition of CPythonPrtDlgFramework<T>::_messageEntries
by 
____________________________________________________________________

// I added pointers to the functions
template <class T>
const AFX_MSGMAP_ENTRY CPythonPrtDlgFramework<T>::_messageEntries[] 

= {
        ON_MESSAGE(WM_INITDIALOG,     &HandleInitDialog)
        ON_COMMAND(IDC_PRINT_TO_FILE, &HandlePrintToFile)
        ON_COMMAND(IDC_PRINT_COLLATE, &HandleCollate)
        ON_COMMAND_RANGE(IDC_PRINT_RANGE_ALL, 
IDC_PRINT_RANGE_PAGES, 
&HandlePrintRange)
 {0, 0, 0, 0, AfxSig_end, (AFX_PMSG)0 }
};
____________________________________________________________________

It will be placed at line 983.
 
That's all.
