Hi all,
I recently started with creating dll's, I managed to create a few functions for calculating distances etc. Now I wanted to try using strings, accoarding to the help files I need the globstruct.h file for this, wich I found, but when I compile it runs into an error: Cannot open include file: 'dxdiag.h'.

I have no clue on what to do now, so I was hoping someone has an answer for me.

edit
I'm using Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express

You need to download and install the October 2006 DirectX SDK from microsoft.

A (not very good) alternative, is to replace those includes with '#include <wtypes.h>', and to change all occurrences of LPDIRECT3DTEXTURE9 and LPDIRECT3DSURFACE9 with LPVOID, but then you won't be able to code any of your own DirectX stuff in your plug-ins.
