windows.h 1

[joeGrammar]

Does anyone know why sometimes when including <windows.h> other errors crop up in other system header files such as windef.h? This is annoying because there are some useful functions I'd like to use in windows.h

 

[Cagliostro]

there exist some conflicts in defines
foe example
//windows.h
#if !defined(__WINDOWS_H)
#define __WINDOWS_H
....
#endif

in some MFC header

#undefine __WINDOWS_H

and you have in many places #include<windows.h> and in one place #include<someMFCheader.h>
in this case you should put #define __WINDOWS_H before some #include<windows.h>.You should see in context what to put instead of __WINDOWS_H because I don't know exactly what to put. John Fill

Well then, they did a terrible job of setting that up, didn't they? Is it any wonder why MSVC++ is poison compared to good ol unix compilers
