gdiplus

[DANNY123]

In the windows form,why when I type the header file #include <gdiplus.lib>, I always get bunch of errors? I have added the gdiplus.lib to the program and the include directory also.

You don't #include lib files... you #include header files.

lib files need to be linked to.

If using MSVS you can do this:

#pragma comment(lib, "gdiplus.lib") 

For other compilers/IDEs you'll have to look at your project options / linker settings.

However, I didn't find gdiplus.h

I've never used GDI+ myself. I can only assume that's either not the right header name, or you don't have GDI+ installed.

These are the standard includes for using GDI+:

#include <windows.h>
#include <objidl.h>
#include <gdiplus.h>
using namespace Gdiplus;
#pragma comment (lib,"Gdiplus.lib")
