CStringArray (how do I include the .h)

[Duncan Winn]

I would like to use CStringArray, but when I try to include afxcol.h my
compiler (VS.NET) complains that...

WINDOWS.H already included. MFC apps must not #include <windows.h>

Any suggestions???

[CheckAbdoul]

Try
#include <afxwin.h>

instead of
#include <afxcoll.h>

Do you have a

#include <windows.h>
before including
#include <afxwin.h>

If so, remove it.

If all else fails, try turning off the precompiled header option (at least
temporarily) and then rebuild everything.

What kind of app is this? And can you show us the includes you do have?

The error indicates that you are including <windows.h> somewhere. Search
for the text "windows.h" in your project directory and see it if is included
in any header file that gets added before stdafx.h.

Adam,

What kind of app is this?
An Ole Db Provider
And can you show us the includes you do have?

in the stdafx.h...............
#include <atlbase.h>
#include <atlcom.h>
#include <atlwin.h>
#include <atltypes.h>
#include <atlctl.h>
#include <atlhost.h>
#include <atldb.h>

in my curerent file ...............
stdafx.h
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include <String.h>
#include <iostream.h>
#include <atlpath.h>

Thanks

Duncan

[Duncan Winn]

Check,

I can not see any place windows.h is includes explicitly. However my
application is an Ole Db provider created using the ATL, and I believe the
ATL may use windows.h?

See if the following utility helps you to figure out where the windows.h is
coming from.

Thanks Check,

I believe that as I am writing an Ole Db provider the atlbase.h or some
other atl component includes windows.h. So I moved my
#include afxwin.h into the stdafx.h before the following:

#include <atlbase.h>
#include <atlcom.h>
#include <atlwin.h>
#include <atltypes.h>
#include <atlctl.h>
#include <atlhost.h>
#include <atldb.h>

This overcame the windows.h problem but this gave the error....

C2065: 'AtlAllocTaskWideString' : undeclared identifier.

So I got over this by including afxdtctl.h. However when I did this I
got the following errors...

CDFProv error LNK2005: _DllMain@12 already defined in CDFProv.obj
CDFProv error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol ___argc
CDFProv error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol ___argv
CDFProv error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __mbctype
CDFProv error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __mbctype

So I also then placed define _AFXDLL before all the #includes
Which left me with the error.....

_DllMain@12 already defined in CDFProv.obj

I was told a way to overcoming this about telling the compiler to ignore
the lib files and then include them in order. I did that but it still
did not get rid of the error??
Any further suggestions???
