windows.h

is there a c++ version of the c-type windows.h ?

[oulyt]

umm you can just use windows.h

[prometheus]

yeah, i know, i will probably end up doing that. but i read that you should use the updated versions to be more compliant with the latest standard.

well everywhere i look they always say to use windows.h  you can check different C++ tutorial/C++ help sites they all say windows.h

i think it gets updated. you can prolly take out the h and do just windows. I use windows.h it works fine.

ok sounds good, Thnaks

windows.h isn't in the c++ standard. So it could potentially contain pretty much anything. Also that's why it hasn't been updated to just a c++ only "windows" header file. You can't take out the h either, unless you have done something you shouldn't do

i see, since it isn't part of the standard there is no reason to update it. thanks
