Hi,

While compiling a C++ dll project in VS 2008 i am getting the following error

error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'LPINPUT'

This error originates from winuser.h

What would be the reason ?

This is not nice of you to ask such questions not showing the lines of code relevant to the error. Not at all!

OK, look at this MSDN page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms646310(v=vs.85).aspx[^].

Pay attention at this note:

proper include

You have to include WinAble.h not WinUser.h

See also http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms646270(v=vs.85).aspx[^].

Do you mean this declaration? I cannot be 100% sure as you did not show nothing from you code.

WinAble.h? Why not WinDeveloperWannaBe.h?
:-D
