API and their H files

[mikledet]

Hi All,

Since many API functions are wraped in MFC, I suppose, that the API include files are included through the MFC H files - maybe also in the precompiled afx includes?

Could some one confirm or deny this?
If this is correct - could you explain the general "mechanics" of how the API H files are included in MFC?

Any extra info on API H files (like name convetion if there is one etc...) will be most welcome.

Thanks

Dani.

The MFC functions that wrap API calls (or simply use them) include the .h files for the API calls used. They are included just like any other include...

#include <xxx.h>

They are included in the .c or .cpp files that use them. Ther eis no "General mechanism" that I know of...

There are no particular naming convensions (other than .h or possibly .hpp file suffixes)

Many are declared in windows.h. MSDN will tell you where they are defined.
