Where are MSwindows hdrs comming from?

[Pecan]

When I make a new project and use windows variables, where are they comming from.

For example, I make a stub pluging from the wizard and included the following lines:

Code

void stub::OnAttach()
{
	// do whatever initialization you need for your plugin
	// NOTE: after this function, the inherited member variable
	// m_IsAttached will be TRUE...
	// You should check for it in other functions, because if it
	// is FALSE, it means that the application did *not* "load"
	// (see: does not need) this plugin...

    int testing = VK_SHIFT;

}

It compiles fine. But how? VK_SHIFT is defined in winuser.h in the mingw includes. But I never used a #include for it.

How does this work?

wxWidgets includes windows.h?

wxWidgets includes windows.h?

Yes, wxWidgets include windows.h; wxWidgets includes msw/wrapwin.h which includes <windows.h>

Thanks, then they came in from the precompiled headers for wx263.

arst was using 2.8.0 with my 2.6.3 project .cbp. Does this mean that it was *not* using 2.8.0 precompiled headers, or does something else need to be done for 2.8.0.

Inserting "#include <windows.h>" solved the problem. But I don't understand why it was necessary. Any clues?

Hello,

I've been downloading the KeyMacs 0.3.5 plugin. I've been lacking
macro support in CB. But... when compiling in CB (3521), I receive
a bunch of preprocessor errors, see below.

They all relate to Windows preprocessor symbols, so they are
nowhere defined, neither in CB source folder nor in wxWidgets one.

How should this be compiled?

Thanks,
Arst
