When "static" defines a function, it means it exists only in "this"
module. (The one that includes the header) If  you use the header in
more than one module.......not nice.
Either take out _both_ statics, or move the delaration out of the
header file, and into the top of the cpp file (after the includes).

(I think....)
Windows functions are C functions, not CPP.
(Since I write in C, not CPP, maybe the problem)
extern "C"{

You would also need one for your declaration if you still need one.
I don't have a declaration in my code because the callback is above
the caller in the same module. And, it's not a public (sub)dialog.

If your dialog is public, then it must not be static. But I think it
should still be C
