Hi,

I've defined _WIN32_WINNT 0x0500.
But I got the message
f:\test\test.cpp(28): error
C2065: 'COMPUTER_NAME_FORMAT' : undeclared identifier

if(!GetComputerNameEx((COMPUTER_NAME_FORMAT)
ComputerNameDnsHostname,pBuf,&dwSize))

I've included <WinBase.h>

Has anyone else ran into something like this?

Thanks a lot

Dupont

The type cast should be unnecessary, and you should #include windows.h
rather than winbase.h (the SDK docs now seem to mention this latter
point - at last). Have you defined _WIN32_WINNT=0x0500 soon enough -
such as in your project settings?

#include <windows.h>

if( !GetComputerNameEx( ComputerNameDnsHostname,pBuf,&dwSize))
