help remove errors in program

h4ever (529)
Can you help me remove these errors? I try to start to build program, one of my first tries, to capture content of window... I took this script which originally should capture screen and try to remake it.

cpp: pls see the actual code and reports bellow

Looks like it doesn't know what CDC is on line 6 in capture.cpp. Is some #include missing maybe?

CDC Is unknown type. It is missing. I think. It should be type of Device Concept. Do I need to include some GDI library or this is standard?

I had forgotten there must me main function. I removed the code for this one, looks better:

It still generates errors:

I did some changes so I can get hande of Window now, but the rest is mystic. Anybody can help?
h4ever (529)
I have finally found good script which after correction works. I remake it now to capture from window, but here I have a question. I try to use GdipCreateBitmapFromHBITMAP()

 
 
HBitmap = GdipCreateBitmapFromHBITMAP(HBitmap, 0, pBitmap);
but result is error:

error C3861: 'GdipCreateBitmapFromHBITMAP': identifier not found
I even try to include
#include <gdiplus.h> But still the same. How to fix?

I also get 'GdiPlus' : is not a class or namespace name
if I try to access the function through GdiPlus::, if I try define namespace, it occurs same error

Can you help to solve unresolved external problem in program using GDI+ Flat API?
