[Alex F]

It looks like some other header is missing. Try to add
#include <windows.h>
before
#include <Gdiplus.h>

[gaar321]

Its still throwing errors

[Ajay Vijay]

Can you post few lines of code ?

[gaar321]

Its just W32 app precompiled with nothing added apart from #include "Gdiplus.h"

[Ajay Vijay]

If you want that we can/should help you, you need to give some more information.

We cannot deduce from the textual description you are giving.

One last time: can you post some code? Just few lines of GDI.CPP/H

[mozzism]

Old thread but the morons who blew off this legitimate question made me mad.
The problem is in stdafx.h for the wizard-generated application. There is a #define there:
#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
This causes problems in loading the gdiplus headers. Remove it and everything will work.
