how do you use windows.h?

Question

There is a head file called windows.h that, I believe can be more powerful than stdio.h sometimes, I've been trying to use it, but every time I tried to run a code that has this head file within, this line will pop up:

main.c:4:20: fatal error: windows.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

does it mean that I have to download something off the internet? or do I have to enable something from the website? I'm confused, if you have an answer, that will be great, thanks

Answer 1

Actually I don't know about that header file window.h, if it exists , download the header file "windows.h" from google and place it in "INCLUDE" folder in our application folder.

Answer 2

windows.h is a visual studio header, it will not work with any other operating system rather windows and its readily avialabe via visual studio community edition.

if your after windows specific header then opengl gl is one option, ogre 3d, wine for linux.

Windows.h allows you to change specific features like window size, text its not something you download as its built into either a library of key features or windows system its self that can be invoked by visual studio or a ide that is on a windows system.

Answer 3

In addition to what the others said, try doing #include <windows> or #include <windows.h>

Sometimes it's a bit weird about that stuff.
