Compile Errors - windows.h and System::Windows::Forms conflict

[delali]

Compile Errors - windows.h and System::Windows::Forms conflict I am having problems getting my VC++ code to compile. Below are the files as they are defined.
I am using win 2K, VC++ .NET



nidaq.h
**************************************************************************************
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "ChartForm.h"
#ifndef _NIDAQ_Header_
#define _NIDAQ_Header_

/*************************************************************************

*************************************************************************/


#include <windows.h>
...

*************************************************************************************




ChartForm.h
*************************************************************************************
#ifndef CHART_FORM_H
#define CHART_FORM_H

#include <tchar.h>

#using <mscorlib.dll>


#using <System.dll>
#using <System.Windows.Forms.dll>
#using <System.Drawing.dll>
#using <ChartFX.dll>
#using <ChartFX.Base.dll>
#using <ChartFX.Borders.dll>


using namespace System;
using namespace System::ComponentModel;
using namespace System::Windows::Forms;
using namespace System:rawing;
using namespace SoftwareFX::ChartFX;


...

*************************************************************************************



ChartForm.cpp
**************************************************************************************
#include &quot;stdafx.h&quot;
#include &quot;nidaq.h&quot;



#include &quot;ChartForm.h&quot;





I am not sure how to move forward, nidaq.h needs windows.h to compile correctly. But this is causing the conflict. I am not sure how to get around this

Is there a way to make the symbols explicitly know which definition to use?


Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
