Hi,
I just downloaded/installed GCC from MinGW ... worked beautifully.
I downloaded a small Windows C++ source and executable example from http://www.cplusplus.com/src/. The .exe works fine. The .cpp
#includes a windows.h header.
Is there a publicly available Win32 version of windows.h?
Thanks in advance,
Richard 8  18592

windows.h includes lots of other .h files, so you need much more. Get the
free SDK here:

Hi Scott,
Thanks for replying. It's nice to hear from an expert.
I'm a retried Widows applications developer (Oct. 2001), but I'm
getting the itch to start programming again. After I posted my
question, I realized I should just hunt on my system, because I've
got Visual Studio 6 installed (and VS.Net, which I never used
seriously.)
So I found the SDK, so I should be able to get it working with GCC. I
want to use the open source stuff because it fits in nicely with the
web development tools I've started to use, like the Aptane IDE,
Firefox browser, Apache Tomcat web server.
Again, thanks for announcing the proper place to find the SDK. It's
stll be useful to know in case I need an updated version.
Best wishes,
Richard

Go with VS.Net (2003 or 2005). You don't have to use the .NET stuff,
you can write to the Win32 API, but it's a hell of a lot more compliant
to the Standard than VS6.

If you need windows.h, get ready.
You'd have to get a truckload of stuff and switch to
microsux development environment. Else you'll be battling

That's not been my experience. I need windows.h in the system
specific parts of the environment, and I've had no problems with
it. It means an extra /I option to the compiler, and an extra
library to specify to the linker, and that's all.
Of course, for Windows, I usually do use the Microsoft compiler;
it's one of the better compilers around. (Comeau, obviously, is
considerably better. G++ may be slightly better for the
compiler, but I find the VC++ standard library slightly better
than that of g++. Both are, however, very good.) And I have
no problem using VC++ from UWin or MSys---both very good
development environments for those more used to a Unix
environment. I almost always invoke VC++ from GNU make, for
example (and my makefiles work anywhere GNU make and the usual
Unix tools are installed---including under Windows).

Hi Roland,
It's included in MinGW.
You're so right.
I downloaded WinTut.x. x=cpp, h, exe from somewhere. The exe ran
fine, and I presume it was compiled from the cpp/h. But MinGW's g++
barfed immediately on LRESULT. I leaped to the conclusion that
windows.H was missing. My mistake.
I looked at the MinGW's windows.h. Sure enough, LRESULT isn't defined
in it. Moreover, it's only a fraction of the windows.h that I
remember.
Another responder suggested that what I really need in platform.sdk.
I've got:
Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Vc7\Platfo rmSDK
which includes bin, lib and include subdirectories. But the latter
includes WindowsX.h but not windows.h.
Another responder said I need more than mere windows.h. Sounds like I
really need the platform.sdk that I used to have when I had Visual
Studio 6 installed. I think that VS.Net wrecked VS6, but I can
reinstall it.
But I'd be left with the question of how to integrate platform.sdk
from VS6 into MinGW.
Amy ideas. Meanwhile, I'm going to check out the other responses on
this thread.
Again, thanks for your response.

I can get the windows version number from System.Environment.OSVersion e.g.
"Windows NT 5.1.2600.0" for XP SP2.
I was wondering whether this tells you the type of windows it is or if you
have to use something else?
E.g. for windows 2000 do you just get a version number, or can you tell if
it is Professional, Server, Advanced Server, Datacenter Server.

Hi, I have a simple question for you guys. In my WinForms app, I'm using WndProc to trap certain Windows messages. I sometimes need to block the Main UI-Thread (waiting for a worker thread or a modal dialog box to close). WndProc stops working once that happens. Is there a way to keep getting Windows messages while the UI-thread is suspended?
