compiler error when using MFC with c-based application.

[ds]

fatal error C1189: #error : WINDOWS.H already included. MFC apps must
not #include <windows.h>

I have an existing C-based application. I need to add encoder card
support to this application. Encoder card Skd is vc++ based. Hence I
ported the c-code into VC++. I wrote a class for encoder card (.cpp)
and included <afxwin.h>. The class itself compiles fine though when I
make a reference of this c++ class in the main (c-code), I get the
above error.

In the project options, I force a c++ compilation by /TP.

If I dont force /TP, I get the following error,
fatal error C1189: #error : MFC requires C++ compilation (use a .cpp
suffix)

References:
main.c (#include "myEncoder. h")
myEncoder.h (#include <afxwin.h>)

If I dont refer myEncoder.h in main.c, everything compiles fine. I need
to make calls to encoder class. Please advise.
Thank you,
