Re: #include <windows.h>,#include <windowsx.h>

["Hammamur Rahman" <hrahman10 hotmail com>]

Hi, its been a while since i posted last about this subject, but i still 
haven't been able to use gtk+ and windows.h and windowsx.h in the same 
program.  I have used windows.h and windowsx.h without any gtk+ and they 
work fine, but soon as i try to use these header files within a gtk+ program 
it outputs many error messages.  Is there some kind of conflict when gtk+ 
and windows.h and windowsx.h are used together.  Is there a solution to 
this.

Please help me, its driving me mad!

Thank you!
