API groups, header files, import libraries, and DLLs

Access interface definition files for all C/C++ API groups in the Programmer's Toolkit.

For each C/C++ API group, the table below provides:

  • Links to the API documentation
  • Required interface definition (header) files, where applicable
  • Associated import library files, where applicable
  • Associated Dynamic Link Library (DLL) files

How to access header files in the Toolkit:

  1. Find the Programmer's Toolkit icon in your program directory and launch it. If it is not displayed in the program directory, install the Toolkit.
  2. In the left navigation panel, select the appropriate API group.
  3. Select the C/C++ APIs subtopic in the left navigation panel.
  4. In the right display panel, find the header (.h) file and select it.
Note: In addition to interface descriptions and definitions, the API group topics in the Toolkit include links to other information resources.
