Compiler Error in Visual Studios 2010

Hey so I have recently been trying to port a bunch of my projects to Visual Studios 2010 and have run into an issue with a number of projects written in C++. Here is the code and compiler error:

Code:

---


#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN

#include <windows.h>
#include <fstream>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;


HHOOK hHook;
char filePath[MAX_PATH];
HMODULE getCurH;
HKEY hKey;
HWND Regedit;


DWORD WINAPI DesWindows(LPVOID);
LRESULT CALLBACK LowLevelKeyboardProc(int nCode, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam);

typedef struct tagKBDLLHOOKSTRUCT
{
        DWORD vkCode;
        DWORD scanCode;
        DWORD flags;
        DWORD time;
        DWORD dwExtraInfo;
}

Code:

The code segment I provided is the first couple lines of a project, it defines a structure that is later used by a windows API keyboard hook. It compiles fine on VC++ 6 but due to the fact that VC++ 6 is old and has little support I thought switching to 2010 made good sense. Guessing by the compiler output I am using an include that is defined somewhere else as well, and Visual C++ 2010 wont have it! Can someone please tell me what I need to do to my includes to stop this error.

If the project is C++, you don't need this "tagXXX" and typedef. That's for C.

struct KBDLLHOOKSTRUCT
{
DWORD vkCode;
DWORD scanCode;
DWORD flags;
DWORD time;
DWORD dwExtraInfo;
};

The error probably means that you forgot to supply a name for your typedef and a semicolon as well after the closing curly brace.

It's telling you that you don't need to define tagKBDLLHOOKSTRUCT because it'a already defined in winuser.h which you've indirectly included already.

Hey sorry didn't see your post iMalc, looks like taking out the tagKBDLLHOOKSTRUCT worked, it compiled I will see if the program still works as it should. Thanks!

Mmm, keylogging and forced closure of regedit.

I could point out the forum rules, but you didn't read them the first time anyway.

Ok well thanks iMalc I just one more quick question. I'm porting a project that uses the latest WinPcap libraries. I was wondering, as I am new to Visual Studio 2010 where exactly are the should I copy the WinPcap .h and library files? Also how do I link a my project to them?
