...Hey i am having a little trouble with the mouse wheel functions in windows. I put case WM_MOUSEWHEEL: in my message system, and when i compile, it says that WM_MOUSEWHEEL is an undeclared indentifier. I am assumming that i am missing some windows header files or something. Which doesnt make sense, since WM_LBUTTONUP and all the others work fine. I have looked around and didn''t find much help, i hope i am just doing something utterly wrong here and so stupid that someone will bust on me for it, but anyway, any help is appreciated, thanks, later- what we do in life... echoes in eternity...

WM_MOUSEWHEEL should work. Check your code again.

show the code where you check for the message in your window procedure

thnx

well there really wasnt much code to it, i just inserted it into my message loop
like so (its towards the bottom):
LRESULT CALLBACK MessageLoop (HWND hwnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
int mouseX;
int mouseY;


switch(message)
{
case WM_ACTIVATEAPP:
ActiveApp = wParam;
break;

case WM_DESTROY:
ShowCursor (TRUE);
PostQuitMessage(0);
break;
case WM_KEYDOWN:
switch(wParam)
{
case VK_TAB:
if(CONSOLE_MANAGER->on)
CONSOLE_MANAGER->on=false;
else
CONSOLE_MANAGER->on=true;
break;
case VK_ESCAPE:
PostQuitMessage(0);
break;
case 65: //A
CONSOLE_MANAGER->INPUT_MANAGER->KEYBOARD_InsertKey( ''A'', CONSOLE_MANAGER->Console_font, CONSOLE_MANAGER->SCREEN_MANAGER);
break;
case 66: //B
CONSOLE_MANAGER->INPUT_MANAGER->KEYBOARD_InsertKey(''B'', CONSOLE_MANAGER->Console_font, CONSOLE_MANAGER->SCREEN_MANAGER);
break;
.
.
.
case 57: //9
CONSOLE_MANAGER->INPUT_MANAGER->KEYBOARD_InsertKey(''9'', CONSOLE_MANAGER->Console_font, CONSOLE_MANAGER->SCREEN_MANAGER);
break;
}
break;
//MOUSE STUFF
case WM_MOUSEWHEEL:
{

}
break;
case WM_MOUSEMOVE:
{
mouseX = lParam&0xffff;//LOWORD(lParam);
mouseY = (lParam&0xffff0000)>>16;//HIWORD(lParam);
CONSOLE_MANAGER->MouseHover(mouseX, mouseY);
}
break;
case WM_LBUTTONUP:
{
int x = LOWORD(lParam);
int y = HIWORD(lParam);
CONSOLE_MANAGER->MouseInput(x, y);
}
break;
case WM_RBUTTONUP:
{
int x = LOWORD(lParam);
int y = HIWORD(lParam);
}
break;
default:
return DefWindowProc (hwnd, message, wParam, lParam);
}
return 0L;
}

and then compiled and got the error. I dont know if that can give you any insight. Once thing is, i compiled a VC++ example called MouseInfo that uses the WM_MOUSEWHEEL, and it worked fine. I cant figure it out. I also declared #define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN, but i dont think that would matter. thanks for any help...

A good way of working out something like that is to right click on the include directory, choose search and use the "Containing text" field....
