problem of midiOutClose, midiOutOpen,.. where to get mmsystem.h and windows.h
Author
hi,
Hi, I wish to use midi file, but there are some error happened when i called some midi function like midiOutClose, midiOutOpen, midiOutReset, and midiOutShortMsg. I think it's because i didn't include the library of the midi function. i check the msdn library, by using those function i only need to #include<windows.h> and #include<mmsystem.h>. Then i goto the "include" folder to check this 2 files, i found that this 2 files not exist in the "include" folder, just wondering when can i get these 2 files?
I'm using visual studio.Net 2003 version, hehe, sorry i already found this 2 files in ..../Vc7/PlatformSDK/Include
but I don't know why they cannot detect the midi function, do you have any idea what caused the problem, i already include these 2 files in my code

#include /* required before including mmsystem.h */
#include /* multimedia functions (such as MIDI) for Windows
the error like below

That's got nothing to do with headers and everything to do with what libraries you link to (or don't link to). You need to link with winmm.lib for those functions.
By the way, the VS documentation tells you exactly what headers and libraries you need for every function. Check the bottom of the documentation page for the midiOutOpen function. You'll see:

Header: Declared in Mmsystem.h; include Windows.h.
Library: Use Winmm.lib.
