Need help: auto-complete can't find CreateFile

(1/2) > >>

jsandraw:
when type createfile...., auto-complete just give 'CreateFileMoniker'

but CreateFile can compile and run in the .cpp

How can I set proper for auto-complete to show 'CreateFile'?

jsandraw:
Can't find CreateFile/CloseHandle, but auto-complete can find ReadFile/WriteFile, s.b. know why?

OK, I can confirm this.

This code does not work.

--- Code: ---#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    CreateFil
    return 0;
}


--- End code ---
If you open the CC Debug dialog
see http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Code_Completion_Design#Code-Completion_debug_tool_dialog
, you will notice that "winbase.h" is not in the CC's file list, so this is the reason.

But this code works

--- Code: ---#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
#include <winbase.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    CreateFi
    return 0;
}

--- End code ---

MortenMacFly:
windows.h should usually be enough. However, you find this section in windows.h:

--- Code: ---#ifdef RC_INVOKED
/* winresrc.h includes the necessary headers */
#include <winresrc.h>
#else

#include <stdarg.h>
#include <windef.h>
#include <wincon.h>
#include <winbase.h>
(...)

--- End code ---
As CC does not fully support macro handling the first case (as if RC_INVOKED would be defined) is used. Thus the references are incomplete. However, I don't know "who" usually defines this macro. It looks like the resource compiler does so at runtime (compile time).
