error C3861: 'InitializeCriticalSectionAndSpinCount': identifier not found

[Hooyoo]

I have included windows.h, but it still says
'InitializeCriticalSectionAndSpinCount': identifier not found. Why?
any ideas?

Thanks.

Hi Hooyoo!

I have included windows.h, but it still says
'InitializeCriticalSectionAndSpinCount': identifier not found. Why?
any ideas?

From documentation:
<quote>
To compile an application that uses this function, define _WIN32_WINNT
as 0x0403 or later.

Greetings

If you've got stdafx.h, try removing the following line if you have
it.

#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN

Also note that MSDN says:

"To compile an application that uses this function, define
_WIN32_WINNT as 0x0403 or later"
