Hi, does someone know where to find this constant? The MSDN docs state that it should be defined in windows.h, which isn't the case for DMC. I can find the SetFilePointer function but not the return code.

It is defined as follows in winbase.h. That is, in the Platform SDK, and not DM's winbase.h which lacks this definition.

#define INVALID_SET_FILE_POINTER ((DWORD)-1)

Rest assured, this isn't the only time you'll find a definition missing from
the headers supplied with dm. :)
You always should have a copy of the Platform SDK handy and just copy the
appropriate definition from there.

I don't suppose Walter, or anyone else, has a tool that can automatically extract the DMC-compatible version of Platform SDK contents?

Hi,  I don't know.

But how about a community driven process? I'm sure quite a lot of us have written/extended the header files. So how could we all merge these together to create a Platform SDK compatible set of headers over time? Any idea? Robert

I'd be interested in this, but workload won't permit any input from me until perhaps March! Sorry.

Maybe I am missing something here, but what's the problem with just using the Platform SDK? (AFAIK the most difficult part is deleting the old SDK headers included in DMC).

See http://cmeerw.org/prog/dm/ms_sdk.html for a description of how I got it to work (the page still needs some work...)


bye, Christof

Hi, seems more like I'm missing something ;-)). I'll try your approach. If this works out than of course we should use the Platform SDK stuff directly provided by MS. Robert
