SDK with C++?

[rselvan]

I know the very basic knowledge of c++.
I need to create windows application which needs to be done with Platinum SDK.
How do i interact with SDK in c++?
Could you kindly give me any simple code snippet along with basic design?
Thanks

First you need to tell the IDE what directories to use, then you can use functions and whatnot from those libraries.

In visual studio, you click "Project/ProjectName Properties/VC++ Directories"

You then type the file path for the directories you want to use. For instance, with directx I would type:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft DirectX SDK (June 2010)\Include;$(IncludePath)
in my include directory

and

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft DirectX SDK (June 2010)\Lib\x86;$(LibraryPath)
in my library directory
