Greetings,

I am using version 6.0 and am having trouble with include files. File
hidsid.h could not be found tho I added the directory in project setup
additional resources. Also having trouble with typedefs such as ULONG,
UCHAR, etc.

I am new to VC++ and Windows based programming in general so I am sure
I am doing something ignorant. Would appreciate any ideas.

Thanks,

jh

Add the directory path in the project settings, C/C++ page, Category
Preprocessor, in Additional Include Directories.

Thanks for posting Scott.

I must have a diferent version, my C++ tab seems different. I added the
directory under Tools.Options>Directories(show include files) and it
fixed that problem.

Thanks again for the idea.

Did you mean hidsdi.h? That's part of the DDK -- the Driver Development
Kit. It isn't part of the compiler or the standard SDK.

VC++ version 6.0 is now 9 years old. It is an antique.

Those should be included with <windows.h>. Where did you get the code
you're trying to compile?
