winbase.h in console apps
Author
So I am talking about VC6. My problem is:
- I make a fresh new and empty console app (Win32 of course)
- then add an empty .cpp file
- then I include iostream.h
- and then I am so perkily to include winbase.h
If I am trying to compile this, I get 74 errors in winbase.h, mostly about missing definitions (DWORD, WORD, wYear,...), missing brackets, missing semi-colons, etc.
What the heck is going on? Shouldn''t at least the standard M$ headers work (actually they work in non-console apps)?
Thanx in advance for saving my keyboard and my teeth

Thanx that worked perfectly!
But why doesn''t winbase.h include windows.h on its own?

I dont think winbase.h is intended for direct inclusion in a user program. Same goes for a lot of the other windows include files. Save yourself some trouble and just include windows.h.

Well, it''s just because MSDN said, the relevant include would be winbase.h

MSDN usually says something like this: "Declared in winbase.h, include windows.h"

Excerpt from MSDN for ''GetTickCount'':
Header: Declared in winbase.h.
Import Library: Use kernel32.lib.
