windows.h

[Phil Myers]

Shouldn't I be able to find the windows.h file on my PC?

Can't find it, but programs compile that have "#include <windows.h>"
in them.

What am I missing?

Thanks.

Phil,

What you are missing:
1) The right forum - this is a basic forum
2) The right directory - windows.h have to be somewhere on your
PC. If yor are using VC++ you can find it in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Include

Peter:

I was looking at pbnote.bas provided as a sample with PBDLL60 and trying to understand something about how it works. I noticed that in the resource file pbnote.rc that there is a statement "#include <windows.h>". I was just trying to look at windows.h.

I apologize if wrong forum. Where should I have posted?

Thanks, Phil

Phil --

Header (.h) files are a perfectly normal part of resource (.rc) files. Not all resource files use them, but many do.

I'd suggest downloading the Platform Software Development Kit (PSDK) or whatever MS is calling it these days, from microsoft.com. It will contain all the standard header files for Windows apps.

You will also find them if you install Microsoft Visual Studio, Borland C, or any number of other programming languages.

Phil,

All I think that is happening is that the old PBnote used a
Microsoft VC or similar resource file that calls windows.h for
the resource definitions.

I would be tempted to change it to the "resource.h" definition
file that comes with PowerBASIC as it should have most of the
resource definitions for a program like PBnote.

Thanks a lot guys! I'll try replacing windows.h with resource.h and see what happens.

Steve's nailed it. That should be "resource.h".
