Where can I get windows.h ?

Aug 23, 2010 at 12:56pm
Hi, I wanted to build a program which simply allows me to create a cursor. I use Turbo C++ (TC). when I compile the program it is not able to find windows.h . Could you please tell me that how cn I get it. I know that my compiler is out dated but it is the only choice I have now.

Thanks.

common! I tried googling it but could not find anything. Isn't there some uploaded file which I can add in the compiler's resourse files to be able to use the windows.h header files. If this is possible then can one of you upload it.

You should download a more recent IDE ( eg. Code::Blocks or Visual Studio Express ). They both contain all windows headers you need.

just downloading the header won't do anything. You need the whole SDK.

This usually comes bundled with whatever IDE you're using. Perhaps try installing MinGW. Even if you don't use it, it should still install WinAPI on your machine.

EDIT:
+1 to what Null said.

Guys I finally got Visual C++ 2008 after a lot of stealing,begging and borrowing. Currently trying to learn its interface. Got a 1300 page book gotta read it.
THanks anyway for your help :-)
