    Hi,
    Can I detect what version of windows is running before declaring an API, so that my program can be compatible with all the versions of windows.

    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.

    I think this doesn't matter, because without declaring API you cannot determine which version of Windows are you running.
    And I also think that all windows versions (95/98/ME/2000) have the same function for determining their version.
    But on the other hand - maybe I'm wrong.

    Zvonko, thats what i thought first but it doesn't matter, since only the api calls will cause the errors, so if you have the select cases in the right place it won't be a problem.
