Function 'GetRawInputDeviceList' could not be resolved












1















First trial of this function using:




  1. ENV: Eclipse IDE for C/C++ & MinGW32 in Win10-64.

  2. Reference: GetRawInputDeviceList function at Microsoft


My hello-world code is simple:



#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
#include <winuser.h>
using namespace std;

int main() {
cout << "USB Device Lister." << endl;
UINT nDevices = 0;
PRAWINPUTDEVICELIST pRawInputDeviceList;

nHID = GetRawInputDeviceList(NULL, &nDevices, sizeof(RAWINPUTDEVICELIST));
cout << "found HID devices of "<< nHID << endl;
return 0;
}


According to Function definiton, I have included the .h, still I got the errors:



error: 'PRAWINPUTDEVICELIST' was not declared in this scope
Function 'GetRawInputDeviceList' could not be resolved


Some said it may need "#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0501", or mingw-x64, but not solve my problem.



Sorry that maybe a newbie question, but pls. help.
Thanks in advanced!

          Try also to define WINVER.
          So you should add this before the #include <windows.h>



          #define WINVER 0x0501  
          #define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0501


          Check this article out for more information: Modifying WINVER and _WIN32_WINNT.



          PS. You don't have to include the winuser.h because it is already included by windows.h.
