I just tried to compile DesktopToastsSample.cpp. The first warning I get is

Code: Select all  Expand view

Warning W8094 stdafx.h 7: Incorrect use of #pragma comment( <type> [,"string"] )

So it seems that the provided stdafx.h is not the right one for Borland.

thats why I looked for an alternative way that fortunately has worked

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

Ok, but the problem is not in the Borland compiler.

Its header files are not Windows 10 and VSC2015 compatible

The compiler works fine.

I don't know if Borland headers are compatible with W10 but surely the provided stdafx.h isn't compatible with Borland.

Enrico,

After fixing stdafx.h I still get this, so it is not a problem with stdafx.h only:

Actually, if we want to have fully compatibility with Windows 10 then VSC2015 is the way to go

I don't know if Embarcadero will solve that in future versions

Can you send me the fixed stdafx.h, please?

I'm going to ask Andi for a new Borland release.

Embarcadero has new version BCC 7.2. Maybe the required headers are included?
