Problem compiling examples with Visual Studio 2008

[schwa226]

thx!

I added:
Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions->VC++Directories->Inlucde files:
C:\MentorGraphics\WinDDK\7600.16385.1\inc\api
C:\MentorGraphics\WinDDK\7600.16385.1\inc\ddk

Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions->VC++Directories->Library files:
C:\MentorGraphics\WinDDK\7600.16385.1\lib\wxp\i386

Project->Proporties->Configuration Properties->Linker->Input->Additional Dependencies:
setupapi.lib, hid.lib

I tried to config the paths like above, but than I got errors in stdio.h.

WinDDK is 7.1.0
VS2008 Pro SP1
Project:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=E4KX6EX8

Ok, I just downloaded VC2008 and got exactly the same problem with my original solution. Seems there are some conflicts with the VC includes and the WDK includes that for some reason did not present themselves under VC2005.

My solution: Under project properties C/C++ => Preprocessor set Ignore Standard Incude Path to Yes (/X). Then under C/C++ => General add C:\MentorGraphics\WinDDK\7600.16385.1\inc\crt to the Additional Include Directories.

That did it for me, let me know how you get on.

Thx a lot!

Great easter egg!

Tested on a Win7 x86 machine:

this solution is for Win32 Console Application, i like to do some solution for MFCs, i did the code above and works perfectly but is for WIN32 Conosole Application, but i cant compile, any advice for MFCs? the MFCs error is:

1>------ Build started: Project: PICs, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
1>Compiling...
1>stdafx.cpp
1>c:\documents and settings\administrador\mis documentos\visual studio 2008\projects\pics\pics\stdafx.h(22) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'afxwin.h': No such file or directory

I dont currently have access to the notebook on which my test setup with WDK installed but IIRC there is some (limited) MFC stuff bundled with the WDK, maybe take a look in the /inc dir?

Really speaking though MSVC was never intended for building device drivers, what I have presented here is actually a bit hackish to be perfectly honest

Your best bet IMO is to compile the bits you need from the hid-data example into a dll and link that with your MFC app, others have reported success with this approach.

i put this in my header file called PICs.ccp, i am using MFCs:

#include <windows.h>
extern "C" {
#include "C:\WinDDK\7600.16385.1\inc\api\hidsdi.h"
}
#include "setupapi.h"

/***********************************************Configuring the paths on my project*******************************************************/

in PICs Properties -> C++ -> General -> Additional Includes Directories, i put this:
C:\WinDDK\7600.16385.1\inc;
C:\WinDDK\7600.16385.1\inc\crt;
C:\WinDDK\7600.16385.1\inc\api;
C:\WinDDK\7600.16385.1\inc\ddk;
C:\WinDDK\7600.16385.1\inc\mfc42

in PICs Properties -> Linker -> General -> Additional Library Directories, i put this:
C:\WinDDK\7600.16385.1\lib\wxp\i386

in PICs Properties -> Linker -> Input -> Additional Dependencies, i put this:
setupapi.lib hid.lib

and i got multiple errors, i show you the list of errors:

some advice, my friends?

Well I honestly couldn't say without seeing the whole setup and I must say im not awfully familiar with MFC, I tend to use the wxWidgets api for GUI stuff.
My guess is a conflict somewhere between the MFC headers shipped with WDK and those included with MSVC or the SDK. But like I already suggested, simlply export the functions you need as a dynamic (or static) library then you can use these freely with your MFCs, C#, VB or whatever you prefer.

it's amazing how efficient and successful you guys have become with rolling out new features. It wasn't too long ago when you talked about the new WPF, and here it is.

One question thought. Do you think some of these shading levitra online features (software enhancements and not using hardware) can lead to Silverlight? SL can really use some bitmap boost. The shading would be a great step to adding that 3D look&feel to objects!

Thank you for great work and waiting for your announcements on SL beta 2!
