VS .NET 2003 Strange compiler error

Fresh new Win32(not console) project.

Replaced CreateWindow with CreateWindowEx

BOOL InitInstance(HINSTANCE hInstance, int nCmdShow)

{

   HWND hWnd;



   hInst = hInstance; // Store instance handle in our global variable



   hWnd = CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_LAYERED, szWindowClass, szTitle, WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,

	  CW_USEDEFAULT, 0, CW_USEDEFAULT, 0, NULL, NULL, hInstance, NULL);



   if (!hWnd)

   {

	  return FALSE;

   }



   ShowWindow(hWnd, nCmdShow);

   UpdateWindow(hWnd);



   return TRUE;

}

windows.h and winuser.h are included, but it keeps telling me that WS_EX_LAYERED is undefined identifier. :dumbass:

#331728

You'll need to set your windows version before including windows.h

Something like

#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x500 // w2k at least

#define WINVER 0x0500	  // w2k at least

#331730

Oh thanks MSDN is quite short-spoken on this point
