I am working on a project that connects to the COM port,

What can be the problem with the project files

Hm... maybe...

Check the end of your header files. Sometimes you forgot to put a ; after the class declaration. If you include your own header file just before an other then, the compiler sometimes blame the other file.

But actually the compiler error should be different. (Something with "did you forgot a ; ?" in it. very good guessing from VS here..)

Ciao, Imi.

i simply made this declaration in the header file
1

#ifndef _WINDOWS_
   #define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
   #include <windows.h>
#endif


this apparently removes those header files that were bringing problems from inclusion.

I wonder if there are errors in some of the win32 api?
