'DC_BRUSH' was not declared...

Best time of day for everyone!
All the necessary includes seem to be there, but errors fall in a pile. Can you tell me what else is wrong?


error: 'DC_BRUSH' was not declared in this scope|
error: 'SetDCBrushColor' was not declared in this scope|
error: 'DC_PEN' was not declared in this scope|
'SetDCPenColor' was not declared in this scope|

Code:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<windows.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<time.h>
#include<wingdi.h>

Try adding #include <wingdi.h>
windows.h should include this but try adding it separately to see what happens.
EDIT: Okay, I'm blind. Apparently you already added that. I don't see why you would get those errors.

Code:

---

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<time.h>
#include<wingdi.h>
#include<windows.h>

I would try this order of includes; but, I expect it to still fail.

Looking at the wingdi.h source code (not necessarily your version, but perhaps representative), it looks like if NOGDI is defined then pretty much none of it is included. If you are using an IDE, look in the settings and make sure NOGDI is not being defined (presumably on the command line that invokes the compiler). It's possible that there's a checkbox that you check if you want to use GDI.

I followed your advice, namely, I changed the order of inclusion of includes

What I saw is even more amazing, and I confess I don't understand anything at all.

However, no, it's understandable, on the contrary, it's understandable. The order of inclusion cannot be changed.
