Is windnows.inc missing hbmpItem?

[jj2007]

Is windows.inc missing hbmpItem?

That's the purpose of cbSize: tell Windows which version you are using.
hbmpItem is not essential and was introduced a bit later.

[minor28]

Yes it is true, but if I tell Windows that I want the newer version then it does not exist in windows.inc

so, define your own structure

Only the translated sdk allow this form

Like this you have the right structure with the correct alignment

[hutch--]

This will always be the case as Microsoft keep adding things to the API and support structures and equates. If a version does not do what you require because a later version has been aded by Microsoft, simply define your own. Call it something slightly different so that if and when the master include file is updated, it will not clash with it.

[jj2007]

simply define your own

Yes indeed. Dave's suggestion is simple and straightforward :t

so, define your own structure

[dedndave]

i guess mine is less than ideal
if Hutch changes the structure in windows.inc, it will break the code   :(

if Hutch changes the structure in windows.inc, it will break the code   :(

ifndef helps:

include \masm32\include\masm32rt.inc

MyRECT struct
  RECT <>
  ifndef RECT.left
   left dd ?
  endif
  ifndef OneMore
   OneMore   dd ?
  endif
MyRECT ends

.code
therect MyRECT <<1, 2, 3, 4>, 5>

start:
   print str$(therect.left), 9, "left", 13, 10
   print str$(therect.top), 9, "top", 13, 10
   print str$(therect.right), 9, "right", 13, 10
   print str$(therect.bottom), 9, "bottom", 13, 10
   inkey str$(therect.OneMore), 9, "onemore", 13, 10
   exit

end start
