I know that I can call Win32 API functions in a Windows forms
application by specifying each function header individually like in
using namespace System;
using namespace System::Runtime ::InteropServic es;
typedef void* HWND;
[DllImport("user 32.dll", CharSet = CharSet::Ansi)]
extern "C" int* MessageBox(HWND hWnd, char* pText,
char* pCaption,unsign ed int uType);
void test_Win32Messa gebox_1(void)
{
char* pText = "Hello World!";
char* pCaption = "Platform Invoke Sample";
MessageBox(0, pText, pCaption, 0);
}
What I want to know: Is there an easy way to include all headers by
using windows.h or a similar header file:
extern "C" {
#include <windows.h>
}
I tried to combine this #include statement with a DLLImport attribute
like from above, but I did not succeed.
Thanks

Richard,
A C++/CLI program can mix managed/unmanaged calls seamlessly - no need
for anything nasty - so if you need to interface with lots of native
code, C++/CLI is a much cleaner solution.

Hi David,
I was talking of C++/CLI applications. Can you give me an example how to
do it?
Thanks

#pragma managed(push, off)
#include <windows.h>
#pragma managed(pop)
No DllImport attributes are needed. Make sure you're linking with the
appropriate import library(ies) (e.g. kernel32.lib, user32.lib, etc).
-cd
Thanks Daniel,
perhaps I confused C++/CLI and CLR applications. I need the Win32-API
functions in a CLR Windows forms application. When I proceed as you
suggested, I get numerous errors like
Carl DanieC:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\VC\include\va defs.h(89) : error C3862: '__va_start':
cannot compile an unmanaged function with /clr:pure or /clr:safe
#pragma unmanaged is in effect
Or did I confuse something else?

You need to understand what the error message is telling you: You can't
call unmanaged functions, except via P/Invoke, in a "pure" or "safe" CLR
project. You have two choice:
1. Don't use /clr:pure or /clr:safe, just use /clr
2. Don't #include <windows.hand go back to using DllImportAttrib ute one
import at a time.
If you take option 1, the resulting application will contain a mixture of
managed and unmanaged code and may not run in certain contexts (e.g. partial
trust environment). Winforms will work fine in a mixed-mode application -
it's entirely a function of the environment in which the application is
deployed whether this option will work for you.
If you take option 2, you're stuck with declaring the functions you need one
by one.

And still won't work in partial trust... because you need native code
permission to use P/Invoke. However you'll get a runtime exception instead
of an outright failure to load.
Best of both worlds... put such calls in a separate unsafe assembly, then
you can still fail gracefully if you don't have native code permission.

As far as I can tell, both maintainers of the Windows builds of

make the builds ancient or obsolete, but it would be nice to start

I've tried without success in building it myself. The hardest part is
simply that Python-LDAP is dependent on at LEAST two other projects --
OpenLDAP and Cyrus SASL. This increases the difficulty three-fold.
