include file hidsdi.h

[HMS Surprise]

I am running VC++6.0 and have installed DDK. Under project settings for

additional resource include directories I have listed:
C:\WINDDK\3790.1830\inc\wxp. However I still get a build error stating
that hidsdi.h cannot be opened. I am a new user of VC++ so I am sure I
am doing something ignorant. Would also appreciate it if you could
recommend a tutorial or something similar.
Thanks,

I'd rather recommend you to use a more up-to-date compiler, eg. Visual
C++ 2005 (the Express edition is free to download).

BTW, this newsgroup deals with the *standard* C++ language. AFAIK,
VC++, DDK, and hidsdi.h are not mentionned in the ISO IEC 14882
standard. Maybe you'd be more lucky on a newsgroup with "microsoft",
"vc" and/or "kernel" in its name.

Thanks for posting.

Using 6.0 because project leader at office wants to avoid overhead and
speed factor of later versions, perhaps MSIL? But I will certainly take
your advice and get the 2005 version next week when I can connect at
better than 26.4K.

BTW, got rid of the "not found" error by giving full pathname. Now
getting missing semi-colon errors which actually means it doesn't like
LONG instead of long. So now I am off to find where that may be
defined.

Also posted to microsoft vc group but after no answer for 4 hours
thought I would try this group as I saw other VC questions posted. Not
sure as to what ISO IEC 14882 refers, spose I'll do some checking. The
group description didn't explicitly say no MS so I took a chance. I'll
go quietly.....
Thanks again,
