Problem with calling Kernel32 function "Sleep()"

Hi there

I cannot seem to get this to work. In LabWindows I want to be able to call
the Sleep function.

But when I #Include "Windows.h" I get errors that it cannot build:
"Redecleara tion of 'CVI_GetFileSiz e' previous declared at utility.h:249"

The error stems from Winbase.h, which is included in Windows.h. The relevant
lines in Winbase.h is:

WINBASEAPI
DWORD
WINAPI
GetFileSize(
HANDLE hFile,
LPDWORD lpFileSizeHigh
);
Anybody had this error. Utility.h is a header that is included for other
function vital to Labwindows and it seems odd to me that there is
declaration overlap.....

Thanks

Klaus

Your question is outside the domain of comp.lang.c, which discusses
only the standard C programming language, including the standard C
library. This is a remarkably narrow topic compared to what many
people expect.

For your convenience, the list below contains topics that are not
on-topic for comp.lang.c, and suggests newsgroups for you to explore
if you have questions about these topics. Please do observe proper
netiquette before posting to any of these newsgroups. In particular,
you should read the group's charter and FAQ, if any (FAQs are
available from www.faqs.org and other sources). If those fail to
answer your question then you should browse through at least two weeks
of recent articles to make sure that your question has not already
been answered.

* OS-specific questions, such as how to clear the screen,
access the network, list the files in a directory, or read
"piped" output from a subprocess. These questions should be
directed to OS-specific newsgroups, such as
comp.os.ms-windows.program mer.misc, comp.unix.progr ammer, or
comp.os.linux.d evelopment.apps .

* Compiler-specific questions, such as installation issues and
locations of header files. Ask about these in
compiler-specific newsgroups, such as gnu.gcc.help or
comp.os.ms-windows.program mer.misc. Questions about writing
compilers are appropriate in comp.compilers.

* Processor-specific questions, such as questions about
assembly and machine code. x86 questions are appropriate in
comp.lang.asm.x 86, embedded system processor questions may
be appropriate in comp.arch.embed ded.

* ABI-specific questions, such as how to interface assembly
code to C. These questions are both processor- and
OS-specific and should typically be asked in OS-specific
newsgroups.

* Algorithms, except questions about C implementations of
algorithms. "How do I implement algorithm X in C?" is not a
question about a C implementation of an algorithm, it is a
request for source code. Newsgroups comp.programmin g and
comp.theory may be appropriate.

* Making C interoperate with other languages. C has no
facilities for such interoperation. These questions should
be directed to system- or compiler-specific newsgroups. C++
has features for interoperating with C, so consider
comp.lang.c++ for such questions.

* The C standard, as opposed to standard C. Questions about
the C standard are best asked in comp.std.c.

* C++. Please do not post or cross-post questions about C++
to comp.lang.c. Ask C++ questions in C++ newsgroups, such
as comp.lang.c++ or comp.lang.c++.m oderated.

* Test posts. Please test in a newsgroup meant for testing,
such as alt.test.

news.groups.que stions is a good place to ask about the appropriate
newsgroup for a given topic.

Suppose a function which has Sleep() method in it. And I want to recycle it. I made two buttons which call "Resume()" and "Suspend()". But It doesn't work. The state of thread "t" will be "WaitSleepJoin" when it runs because the function it calls - "GenerateEvents()" has "Sleep()" function. Can I solve this problem with Thread? I don't want add nasty boll flags on it.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
