1.4 System include files
The following system include files are provided with Irie Pascal to make it easier for you to
directly access the Windows API. These system include files contain declarations for many of
the Windows API functions, procedures, types, and constants.
System include files:
- commdlg.inc - Contains declarations for the common dialog functions.
- winbase.inc - Contains basic declarations.
- windef.inc - Contains other basic declarations.
- wingdi.inc - Contains declarations for the Windows GDI functions.
- winsock2.inc - Contains declarations for Windows Socket 2 API.
- winreg.inc - Contains declarations for the Windows registry functions.
- winuser.inc - Contains declarations for user interface functions.
- windows.inc - Includes most of the other include files. Normally when you want to
call the Windows API you would include this file which would include most of the others.
Irie Pascal has also changed the way it searches for include files. When you include a file but
do not specify where the include file is located (recommended), Irie Pascal will search in the
current folder first, then in the user include folder, and finally in the system include
folder.
The user include folder is located at <installation folder>\include\user.
If you create any include files that can be used by more than one program
then you could put them in this folder.
The system include folder is located at <installation folder>\include, and
is the folder that system include files will be installed into.
NOTE: <installation folder> is the folder you installed Irie Pascal into.
