Hi,
I need to use some functions which belongs to some sdks. first of all
I don't know what the sdks are and then I don't know if I have to do
anything like including anything to be able to use these functions. I
can not compile my code just using the functions. examples are
createprocess() form the sdk process or thread. and
setfileattributes() from the sdk storage.
For both of these you need the platform SDK. Unless you are using VC++
Express, you should already have it on your system. If you are using VC++
Express, then the Getting Starting pane when you first open up VC++ Express
tells you how to get the Platform SDK and what changes you need to make to
the VC++ Express setup.
To see what header file you need and what .lib file to link to, just look at
the documentation for the function (it is near the end of the page for each
function), e.g., for CreateProcess:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dllproc/base/createprocess.asp
it says:
Header: Declared in Winbase.h; include Windows.h.
Library: Use Kernel32.lib
Thus you need to
#include "windows.h"
Linking to Kernel32.lib happens automatically if your system is set up
properly.
For some other .lib files, you need to add the .lib file to a field
maintained by the IDE. Exactly where you do this depends on the version of
VC++ you are using.
