not able to include dbt.h win32 programming

Question

Hi all,

I have written a win32 program for detecting USB port device insert and removal. For this i have used dbt.h header file provided by system. But still my program fails to link to that and hence my program dont compile. I have Windows DDK installed on my system and i can find 4 diffrent dbt.h header files.

which one is correct one to connect and how to connect to it.

thanks in advance Vinayaka Karjigi

Answer 1

You need to include the header file but you also need to link the dll that contains the actual code.

Answer 2

How are you including this in your project? It is possible that you haven't got a search path set for the directory that the file resides in.

As there are multiple versions. I would copy the one that I want into the project directory and include using the quote format for local files rather than the chevrons for system files.
