Compiler problem with formatio.h and windows.h

[nico35]

I would like to use both library "windows.h" and "formatio.h".

I must use windows.h to use a really needed function called "CreateFileA" with special Flag and "WriteFile" from "windows.h".

But I would like also to use some functions from the 'formatio.h' as ScanFile, OpenFile, ReadFile, CompareString which are not part of the windows.h package.

Of course I have a complitation issue.

Does anybody have suggestion?

I am using CVI7.1 and your help will be very appreciated.

You didn't specify what your compiler problem was.   I built a quick demo app and found no problems.  What is the order of include files in your application?  windows.h must be the first include file.

This is the sample application.  It compiles with no warnings or errors.
#include "windows.h"
#include <userint.h>
#include <formatio.h>
#include <cvirte.h>

int __stdcall WinMain (HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
                       LPSTR lpszCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
    if (InitCVIRTE (hInstance, 0, 0) == 0)
        return -1;    /* out of memory */
   
    MessagePopup ("Test", "No compiler error.");
   
    return 0;
}
