syntax error: _stdcall -- Help? Please?

Question

Hello,

I am trying to use this code to define the APIs that are needed to communicate with a card reader. Below is the header file (complete). [AtUsbHid.h]

It is throwing several errors, but I figure if the syntax issue is solved, the rest will fall into place.

Please help me out. I made sure that __export was replaced with __declspec and since this was originally compiled with VC++6, and I am using VS2005, there might be something I'm missing.

I am not that great with C++, haven't used it in a long while, so please excuse any DOH-ness. :)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Solved it, thanks! I had to just include the header file in the StdAfx.h file and set the precompiled header tag.

Thanks!

Answer 2

have the same problem, how did you solve it?

thx
