I have use for SliderCtrlEx, but when I compile, I get the error message

"WINDOWS.H already included. MFC apps must not #include <windows.h"

i am="" using="" mfc="" in="" vs2019.
i="" not="" including="" windows.h.="" it="" seems="" to="" be="" coming="" from

"#include="" <afxtempl.h="">" in SliderCtrlEx.h.

Is there a workaround or a version compatible with VS2019?

What I have tried:

I don't have authorization to charge my client for the time it would take to fix this, even if I knew how.

Where did you download the SliderCtrlEx from? You can ask the author on how to use it with MFC. Alternatively, MFC has its own CSliderCtrl class for slider, you could use that instead.

I downloaded the sample program from this site called SliderClrDemo and it compiles just fine in X64 mode with a tweak or two. I added _AFXDLL to the project defines for using MFC in a DLL and added an include of SDKDDKver.h in stdafx.h to shut up some warnings and there were no problems. AfxTempl.h is included in the stdafx.h file.
