c++ - what is SDKDDKVer.h for?

Question

All project created with MSVC have stdafx, which is precompiled headers, which I know what they are but what about targetver.h ? It includes SDKDDKVer.h, and I can't find what is that header about.

What is this for ?

Answer 1

targetver.h and SDKDDKVer.h are used to control what functions, constants, etc. are included into your code from the Windows headers, based on the OS that you want your program to support. I believe that targetver.h sets defaults to using the latest version of Windows unless the defines are specified elsewhere.

SDKDDKVer.h is the header file that actually defines the #defines that represent each version of Windows, IE, etc.
