After following common procedures for including the DirectInput component of DirectX in a project, several compile errors are being listed for the header file. After searching for possible reasons to this problem, I am out of answers. I checked all of the paths to my DirectX include and lib directories, and made sure to download the latest version of DirectX. Please tell me I don''t have to debug Microsoft''s code now! - Please Help! **Code Snippet** ---------------- >>/********** DEFINES **********/ >>#define DIRECTINPUT_VERSION 0x0800 >>#define IS_USEKEYBOARD 1 >>#define IS_USEMOUSE 2 >> >> >>/********** INCLUDES **********/ >>#include <dinput.h> <--------- HERE --- **Compile Errors** ------------------ D:\Programming\DXSDK\include\dinput.h(646) : error C2501: ''UINT_PTR'' : missing decl-specifiers D:\Programming\DXSDK\include\dinput.h(646) : error C2146: syntax error : missing '';'' before identifier ''uAppData'' D:\Programming\DXSDK\include\dinput.h(646) : error C2501: ''uAppData'' : missing decl-specifiers D:\Programming\DXSDK\include\dinput.h(658) : error C2501: ''UINT_PTR'' : missing decl-specifiers D:\Programming\DXSDK\include\dinput.h(658) : error C2146: syntax error : missing '';'' before identifier ''uAppData'' D:\Programming\DXSDK\include\dinput.h(658) : error C2501: ''uAppData'' : missing decl-specifiers D:\Programming\DXSDK\include\dinput.h(1056) : error C2501: ''UINT_PTR'' : missing decl-specifiers D:\Programming\DXSDK\include\dinput.h(1056) : error C2146: syntax error : missing '';'' before identifier ''uData'' D:\Programming\DXSDK\include\dinput.h(1056) : error C2501: ''uData'' : missing decl-specifiers D:\Programming\DXSDK\include\dinput.h(1209) : error C2501: ''UINT_PTR'' : missing decl-specifiers D:\Programming\DXSDK\include\dinput.h(1209) : error C2146: syntax error : missing '';'' before identifier ''uAppData'' D:\Programming\DXSDK\include\dinput.h(1209) : error C2501: ''uAppData'' : missing decl-specifiers main.cpp END

Hey Thanks!

What does that library do (basetsd.h)?

Thanks again.
