I have a very simple C++/CLI window form program which is 100% working alright.
Since I want to add call internet explorer when I click a button on my window form, I add "ONE LINE of code" for testing purpose.
I add #include "Shellapi.h" under #pragma once. After that, VS gives me 500 lines of an error message.
My question is that I am only adding a .h file into my program. Why there will cause any problem? Do I miss something?
===========The first few lines of the error message===============

Several things:
You should #include <windows.h> in any windows program
You should include any system file - like shellapi.h - using brackets (<>) instead of quotes (""), e.g. #include <shellapi.h>
If you're compiling from the command line, it's a good idea to run "vcvars32.bat" (or equivalent) to set your command-line environment for Visual Studio.
I believe you forgot to #include <windows.h> before #include <shellapi.h>
Generally, (or atleast in my personal experiences), when you are bombarded with a wall of errors after including a header, your missing <windows.h> or some other header.

I am having troubles mex-ing armaMex_demo_cpp in Armadillo (armadillo-8.500.1) in Windows with Matlab (2018a).
So far I am trying the command:

Does any one have any ideas of what I may be doing wrong here?
Anybody have a working mex command for building the mex file for armaMex_demo.cpp in Windows?
Seems to have something to do with how I am including/referencing to BLAS. I used to have the line '#define ARMA_USE_BLAS' uncommented in config.hpp. By leaving it commented I, with this mex command:
mex -LC:\Users\Test\Documents\Armadillo\armadillo-8.500.1-mod_for_windows\include\armadillo -LC:\mingw-w64\i686-8.1.0-posix-dwarf-rt_v6-rev0\mingw32\bin\gfortran -IC:\Users\Test\Documents\Armadillo\armadillo-8.500.1-mod_for_windows\include armaMex_demo.cpp

You need Python on your machine for gyp to work, AFAIK.
I am currently mirroring the DB2 to local MySQL-db with some jdbc-code. I would like to connect DB2 directly from Node.js app without having to query the mirror. I am running on Windows and I cannot change to Linux. It seems that work on DB2 with Node.js is yet very marginal or node-odbc is used (unixODBC bindings for node).
I found this project https://github.com/herzi/db2.js which provides DB2-bindings for Node but I cannot install it as the install fails. The package requires Node-gyp (installed this successfully) and .NET framework SDK. I set the vcbuild.exe into my PATH. After these the msbuild.exe complained about missing header files (sqlcli1.h, sqlsystm.h, sqlca.h), which I found out are part of PRO*C.
I took the header files above from here: http://files.edin.dk/php/win32/dev/php_build/include/db2/ and put them into my Node's src/ directory. Now the compiler shows multiple errors.
Are there any other options when working with Windows to connect DB2 from Node.js app than try to get the above module to work?
Anyone able to help me out here? What are the steps to get the above module installed?
Thanks!

It is true that node-odbc currently is currently meant only for use with unixODBC. But Daniel VerWeire is currently working on supporting node-odbc on Windows. I guess you need to wait a little while.
Praveen will have a post on it here as soon as it is available

Beginning of my code is :
#include <cstdlib>
#include <GL/glut.h>
#include <cmath>
#include "arcball.h"
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
Can someone please tell me what is going wrong?
Well, the first reported error is on the first line that declares a function with the WINGDIAPI modifier. Apparently, this is declared in wingdi.h. However, I'm not sure if you're meant to #include that directly, or whether there's a more formal recommendation for compiling opengl code in the windows environment. I'll have a hunt around.
The page on MSDN discussing the necessary headers for OpenGL work are a bit vague, but I take:
The Windows functions that support Microsoft's implementation of OpenGL in Windows must include the header file Windows.h.
To mean that you ought to include windows.h first.
Really? If I create a blank C++ project in VS2008, create an empty cpp file, copy and paste your includes in, and hit compile, I get exactly the errors you described. If I change my includes to:
#include <cstdlib>
#include <windows.h>
#include <GL/gl.h>
#include <cmath>
#include "arcball.h"
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
Then the first reported error I get is that it can't find "arcball.h" (hardly unexpected). Are you still getting the same errors once windows.h is included?
When I include a standard library into my VS2010 project, I get a TON of errors like these (these errors were from adding in shellapi.h). I get similar errors when adding in something like Windows.h or Wininet.h or anything like that.

I'm sure this is just something to do with a project setting, but I have no idea what setting I need to change. Where should I begin?
UPDATE
The solution was to make sure that windows.h was loaded first. I did not know it was dependent on that. For future reference, where should I have looked to see that dependency?
I got these exact same errors when adding
#include <shellapi.h>
to one of my files. I solved the problem by adding
#include <windows.h>
directly before it.
(You've got to love - or rather, hate - Windows headers that don't #include the headers that they themselves require. If I did that in my own code I'd get yelled at by my superiors!)
This happens when one of your includes is broken, then you include a standard header, because your syntax error directly carries on. For example, if you forget a semi, then include another header, that header will report syntax errors. For this reason, you should always include "clean" headers like system headers first, then own-defined headers.
