That looks suspiciously like a windows header. It certainly
isn't mentioned in the C standard, which makes it off-topic on
c.l.c. Try a group that deals with Microsoft or Windows.
Cascading errors on the inclusion of a commonly used header are
commonly seen, and have nothing to do with Microsoft or Windows. He might have reported similar behavior when including a standard
header. You are too quick to jump on the off-topic wagon.

Are you claiming that winuser.h is mentioned in the C standard, or
that the experts on Windows C programming hang out here? If madhu
asks in the appropriate newsgroup he will get answers that have
been examined and criticized by multiple experts on the subject.

Don't be daft. I never in any post suggested that winuser.h was mentioned in the C standard, or that experts in Windows C programming hang out here. The kind of pronlem he reported is independent of any particular header, any particular implementation, or where any kind of expert other than in C programming hangs out. It is a common problem for inexpert C programmers, no matter what headers or what implementation they might use. Your seeing "winuser.h" and hitting the off-topic button is silly and is based on not looking at the actually reported problem.
