Here is what it came up with when looking for windows. I've looked for a forum on MS's search feature, with no luck. Add the include path to VS path and then try it again. Run the VS setup program through the control panel applet e.

I chose to install everything, here is the list of features from the setup program under the control panel you suggested:. Why wouldn't the VS's windows.

Did the install of VS wipe some VS off of the drive? This isn't a problem once I get VS working, just curious. If you want to use VS's toolset go into the project property page and change the toolset from v to v from memory I think that's the one. Why is it my job to search for the include directories Visual Studio uses? Aren't there programs to do these things?

I've used Windows Explorer search for winapifamily. Of course that's no reason to believe it's not there. I have a lot of folders defined in VS's list of include directories, executable directories and similar things. Is there a method to tell VS to make a copy of these lists without copying the name of each folder?

While I'm asking, where is the VS executible code? It doesn't get a shortcut on my desktop when I installed it and I'd like to add one. However, initial attempts to compile applications with VS have been disappointing. I don't have anything urgent so let's push ahead with VS You should be able to build using VS's toolset from within VS if you change the Platform Toolset as described above. While the manual addition of a file path i.

These have been wiped in the debug configuration. I did look at the list of include folders in the edit box that pops up while looking at the different configurations, in debug mode. I've been careful, and I don't believe I erased any that would have popped up in the edit box. The paths that I posted above came from the project properties but after I selected Edit from the dropdown. Selecting Edit opens a dialog box that show the actual path strings, not just the VS macro names.

Ayxan If you can find specific documented headers for what you need then fine. Show 2 more comments. Active Oldest Votes. Improve this answer. Timbo Timbo The link you provided says it's SendMssage is in winuser. Ayxan Basically the windows headers are a mess. And although it looks like you could include more specific headers for a particular task in practise it doesn't work out at least not the last time I tried it, which was a while ago.

Timbo I understood that part as "This header is included by Windows. You don't need to include it again if you've already included Windows. I am new to windows programming, not sure if that makes sense at all — Ayxan Haqverdili. Show 1 more comment. Pete Becker Pete Becker I understand your point. Ayxan -- because Microsoft. And it's used by hundreds of thousands of applications. I doubt that there's much you could conceivably change in the headers without breaking someone's build.

It's easy to call it a mess. It's equally easy to ignore the significant investments made into cleaning it up.
