Thread: Problem with #include "stdafx.h"

SetTextColor requires you to link with gdi32.lib (or gdi32.dll). (EDIT: MSDN will tell you what libraries are needed for the Windows API functions.)

Yes, i have included the windows.h, but it still gives me that error,

and how can i link that dll??

The header files and the libraries are not the same thing. You need windows.h as a header, but you need to link with (not include) the library (not header file) gdi32.lib. You'll need to go to your linker properties and add the library.
