Hello,
I have a simple MFC Project with a child view. The Child view is handling the WS_INPUT Data for RAW INPUT. When I include the Prof-UIS.h inside my StdAfx.h I got a compilation Error.

To reproduce the Issue:
- Create a simple MFC Project with the Application Wizard.
- Add the following Code to the WndProc Function of the ChildView.

    switch(message)
    {
    case WM_INPUT:
        {
            UINT dwSize;

            GetRawInputData((HRAWINPUT)lParam, RID_INPUT, NULL, &dwSize, sizeof(RAWINPUTHEADER));

            LPBYTE lpb = new BYTE[dwSize];
            if(lpb == NULL)
                return 0;
        }
        break;
    }

- Compile. You can see the Application running.
- Now include the Prof-UIS.h inside the StdAfx.h
- Compile again and you’ll get a strange error.

What can I do to prevent this.

We provided you with the solution we found using Visual Studio 2008. It can be different on other Visual Studio versions.

That solution doesn’t seem to work...

Instead I have found a work around but I don’t know what happens if I do that in Prof-UIS. In the File ExtMfcDef from Prof-UIS there is the following code block:

#if _MFC_VER >= 0x900    
    #ifndef HRAWINPUT
        #define HRAWINPUT DWORD
    #endif
    struct tagMENUGETOBJECTINFO;
    typedef tagMENUGETOBJECTINFO MENUGETOBJECTINFO;
    typedef tagMENUGETOBJECTINFO * PMENUGETOBJECTINFO;
#endif

If I modify that to

#if _MFC_VER >= 0x900    
/*
    #ifndef HRAWINPUT
        #define HRAWINPUT DWORD
    #endif
*/
    struct tagMENUGETOBJECTINFO;
    typedef tagMENUGETOBJECTINFO MENUGETOBJECTINFO;
    typedef tagMENUGETOBJECTINFO * PMENUGETOBJECTINFO;
#endif

all seems to work....

Please add the _WIN32_WINNT=0x0700 definition to the preprocessor settings of your project. Then please add the following lines of code at the top of the StdAfx.h file before including any other headers.

#if (_WIN32_WINNT >= 0x0501)
#define CCM_SETWINDOWTHEME      (CCM_FIRST + 0xb)
#define CCM_DPISCALE            (CCM_FIRST + 0xc) // wParam == Awareness
#endif

Thant’s all.

Prof-UIS is compiled with _WIN32_WINNT=0x0400 because we support compatibility with old Windows versions. That’s why you faced some difficulties with new Win32 API declarations.
