Inclusion of dshow.h results in definition errors

Question

I am trying to do a few things using DirectShow for audio playback. I have a header file, at the top is:

#pragma once
#include 
#pragma comment(lib         


        

Answer 1

Fixed this by changing the order of the #include definitions. I moved the header file that the above code was defined in to the top and it works ok now. Must have been a clash with some code in another file, possibly some directSound related stuff.

Answer 2

I have faced this SDK integration error a couple times, most recently when integrating a win32 console app with a library that uses Windows CoreAudio and the error occurred with a stdafx.h:

// stdafx.h : include file for standard system include files,
// or project specific include files that are used frequently, but
// are changed infrequently
//

#pragma once

#ifndef _WIN32_WINNT        // Allow use of features specific to Windows XP or later.                   
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0502 // Change this to the appropriate value to target other versions of Windows.
#endif                      

#include <stdio.h>
#include <tchar.h>



// TODO: reference additional headers your program requires here
#include <afx.h>
#include <afxwin.h>

Then to resolve the error, I added the following below the current includes:

#include <winioctl.h>
#if (MSC_VER < 1400)
#include <strmif.h>
#endif

Hopefully this will help someone in the future facing this issue. EB
