shobjidl.h: No such directory

[suzie97]

Hi,
I am trying to write/compile a program using
dev-c++ release 5 beta 9 (4.9.9.2) to run
under Windows XP. I am actually trying to compile
it under Windows Vista.

The problem I have is trying to include shobjidl.h
(so than I can use member function ParseDisplayName of
an LPSHELLFOLDER variable):

include <shobjidl.h>

I get this error message upon compilation:
shobjidl.h: No such directory

There was another function I wanted to use which requires
shobjidl.h but I gave up on it (can't remember what it was).
Can anyone help me, how can I include this required
header file?

Thank you.

Hi,suzie97,

if shobjidl.h is a system head file, you should set the path in the project settings to tell the compiler where to find it.

otherwise, you should include the absolute path or relative path ,e.g, #include "../a/b/shobjidl.h"
