I am trying to run the Microsoft DirectComposition Sample which utilizes various IDComposition_____ types. It appears that I am missing dcomp.h which contains these types. I've tried looking around for the header file, but can't seem to find it anywhere.
Am I going about this the wrong way or something?
Maybe someone can point a link towards dcomp.h..?
This is part of the Windows SDK for Windows 8. It’s included with Visual Studio 2012. For other compilers you’ll need to download the SDK separately.

I read this tutorial to try to set up Vulkan in Visual Studio. I got to the very end, compiled, and got this:
A few more screenshots:
I'm using version 1.1.114.0 while the tutorial is using 1.1.77.0, which may be at the root of the issue. However, I have not been able to find another tutorial showing how to set Vulkan up like this. How do I get Vulkan to work in Visual Studio?
I believe you must have missed a step in the tutorial. Specifically, look for the text
Next, open the editor for library directories under Linker -> General
in the linked tutorial page.
In the linker Input tab, either use a complete path to the Vulkan library (for example C:\VulkanSDK\1.1.101.0\Lib\vulkan-1.lib) or in the General tab, add the location of the library (for example C:\VulkanSDK\1.1.101.0\Lib to the Additional Library Directories entry).
If you can express the values in terms of an environment variable, then you'd want to use either VULKAN_SDK or VK_SDK_PATH, which in the above examples would resolve to C:\VulkanSDK\1.1.101.0. That way when you update your Vulkan SDK you don't need to update your project files, and they'll work on other machines that might have different versions installed.
In the long run I'd recommend switching to CMake for project generation, rather than maintaining Visual Studio project files directly. With CMake, adding a Vulkan dependency to your application is as easy as doing this:
find_package(Vulkan REQUIRED)
target_link_libraries(MyApp Vulkan::Vulkan)
You can find existing CMake-based Vulkan examples here or here.
i have a problem with win8 and directx library. i have directx jun 2010 i added its d3dx11.lib and .h files but it doesnt work and says library not found. i found hte link bellow that says you can work with win8 sdk instead of directx libraries and d3dx.... libraries are not supported anymore.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ee663275%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
i found in vs2012 there is a project that builds directx proggram but when i made a project with it it wasnt like any directx code ive seen before its more like xna
what these really mean? how should i work with these changes? its better to return to win 7 and previous libraries or work with these new tools. thanks for helping
"Where is the DirectX SDK?" explains that well. Probably you will want to read it one more time.
D3DX
D3DX and D3D is not the same. D3DX is just a helper library. Microsoft not recommends to use D3DX anymore and stripped it from SDK. So now:
For new code: "Living without D3DX" (alternative link) explains what to use instead in your new code. And here are some D3DX replacement stuff.
For old code: if you just want to build old code that uses D3DX (tutorial samples, for example), you just need to install DirectX SDK and add include/lib paths to your project, as if it was any other library. Mixing Windows SDK and DirectX SDK is not recommended and can lead to errors, so don't use it in new code. Also read here.
Probably, you will be interested to read this and that answer also.
P.S. As always, if linker says, "Library not found", double check, that you've added library path to project options and that library file exists at that folder.
Happy coding!
I know this will sound quite redundant, but sadly, no answer I have found to this problem online helped me.
I am running Visual Studio 2010, and using the Silverlight 4 SDK (April 2011 version) for my project. (set in the properties, I double-checked)
I did add "using System.Windows.Data;" at the beginning of my .cs file.
Yet, the compiler still gives me "not found" errors concerning my calls to PagedCollectionView.
When I type "System.Windows.Data.", the completion gives me plenty of suggestions, but no "PagedCollectionView"... the first suggestion I get starting with P is "PropertyGroupDescription".
Has this useful tool just been erased out of the surface of the Earth?
Thanks
You need to add a reference to assembly System.Windows.Data for PagedCollectionView.
The namespace System.Windows.Data is used in multiple assemblies for example System.Windows that contains PropertyGroupDescription
The MSDN documentation for CommitTransactionAsync indicates it may produce an ERROR_PENDING error code. However, this error code does not seem to be defined in winerror.h, nor any other header reachable from ktmw32.h or windows.h (using the version of the Windows SDK included in Visual Studio 2010). In fact, I cannot find a single file containing the text ERROR_PENDING anywhere in the Windows SDK 7.1; manually going through the list of System Error Codes doesn't reveal it either. Where can I find the definition of this elusive error code?
Experimentation shows CommitTransactionAsync to produce ERROR_SUCCESS - is this a simple matter of the documentation being wrong?
It's a doc bug. #flashk's guess is correct: it can produce ERROR_IO_PENDING. I am submitting a bug to the doc owner today. Thanks!
I am having some trouble compiling a programm with gcc on windows which was initially developed with Visual Studio. So far I was able to resolve almost all problems like missing header files and such, but now I am stuck at one last thing: gcc fails to link to one of the third party libs my program uses (FlyCapture2.lib). It tells me that it does not find any of the functions/methods there. I already checked if the library is actually on the library path and that sort of things, but it still does not work.
I searched a bit around and learned that it might have something to do with the format of .libs created with the Microsoft compiler. Is there any way to convert such a lib to be compatible with gcc? Anything else I might have missed?
(I already found this similar question, but its solution won't work here)
