Win functions not working under win console
April 12, 2002 02:10 PM
Hey Olesuyi...maybe I'm dense here, but I've been trying to get windows types and fucntions to work in a windows console application in VC++ 6.0
So, I remembered when you posted that you should include winmm.lib in the project, and put mmsystem.h as include. But anyway it doesnt recognize my types. I even tried including windows.h
Is there something else that needs to be done?

what''s the compiler and/or linker error(s) that you''re getting?

It''s just not recognizing DWORD as a type, you know, things like that.

Things like that? Well, you might need windows.h and windowsx.h included, considering those hold most of the win functions.

i''m using MSVS.NET but i don''t think there should be a difference. DWORD is typedef''d in "windef.h".

I use ''winmm.lib'' for timeGetTime(); (and ''mmystem.h'' ,I think) and have found no problems. How about posting some code ?
Also What are you compiling under ?? (VS C++ 6)

If you''re going to address a thread to me (you shouldn''t; the FAQ says not to) or send me email, have the fucking courtesy to lookup the spelling of my name.

Shouldn''t you be including your PCH header (stdafx.h) before everything else? And please stop using <iostream.h>. It''s not Standard C++. Use <iostream>, no .h extension.
Nice is for pansies.

It''s probably not your first name. And I don''t make people concessions with my name because there is a general tendency to think "oh, it''s too difficult to write/pronounce." It''s only seven letters - four syllables - that all occur in the English/German/French/Spanish/Italian/Portuguese/other indo-European languages. I say/write your names, you say/write mine.
