Title: Question about how to find the correct associated file.
Post by: pghtech on August 08, 2006, 06:50:21 pm

As a newbie to C++, I am having a problem finding what Header needs to be included when I search on the net or in Help and find a function I want to use.

I have an opengl program, that i simply want to add user message box that ask if they want to run it in fullscreen or not when it launches. But when I look up functions to serve this purpose in the help, I don't any reference to what header file needs to be included to use the function.

That depends very much on the platform and/or toolkit you use.

For example, for a "plain normal, naked" OpenGL program with just Windows and no special toolkit: windows.h
