ow to prevent macro expansion in C/C++?

[3mwn8tbfrd19ph0]

I am writing codes in windows and Unicode. The windows header file
defines CreateFont into CreateFontW. I am using a class which has a
function CreateFile. So when compiling, I got error that the
CreateFontW is not a member of the class.

What should I do?

Thanks for your help!

You should learn that C and C++ are different languages which is why
there is also a group comp.lang.c++. C does not have classes, so if you
are getting errors about something not being a member of a class you are
almost certainly not using C.

Also, I strongly suspect that the things you are talking about are
Windows specific (I happen to know that Windows has a CreateFile
function) so you actually need to ask in a Windows group where you will
find a lot more Windows experts.

In fact, CreateFont and CreateFontW do not exist in the standard C
language, and thus are entirely off-topic in this newsgroup. If
you are willing to put up with the non-standard Windows system, you
should ask your questions in a Windows newsgroup.

Why bother posting to restate that the poster should go to a Windows
group when I had already said that? Also C (of any variety) is
irrelevant to the OPs problem as you will find if you re-read the above
since the OP is using C++.

It has never stopped you "Flash" - I counted 8 "OT" replies once where
you were about #5. I remember chuckling at how pleased you must all have
been to get a chance to bully another newcomer to the group.

Another case of the one rule for some and other rules for others? I had
no idea that Chuck was so far gone from the clique.

Chuck is scraping the bottom of the barrel to find things he is
qualified to reply to without making a mistake.
