structs defined in wingdi.h

[peterworth]

when i declare a struct which is defined in this header there are no compiler errors, but when i step through the code the variable does not seem to exist after it is declared. for example:

BITMAPINFOHEADER bmih;
bmih.biSize = sizeof(BITMAPINFOHEADER);

at the second line (and beyond), the debugger says the symbol bmih is not found.
does anyone know why this might be? i've tried explicitly including wingdi.h just to make sure..

are you including the header file in your code? (I mean the right path etc)

is the bmih definition inside a pair of braces?

yes its definately finding the header otherwise there would be a compile error right? also, i dont think there can be anything wrong with the actual definition because its a standard windows header.

The debugger might fail to find a lot of things, but that doesn't mean they doesn't exist.
