I was trying to make a dialog box program (GUI) bot program. It starts up
and you cilck a button to on a menu that opens another dialog box for the
bot. (The program was started with VC++ MFC appwizard). I added the aw.h
and aw.lib files and did an #include for them in the source file for the
dialog box for the bots but I get these errors when I try to compile (all I
did was add the include parts I havn;t put in any bot coding yet):

Error executing cl.exe.

wizardry.exe - 27 error(s), 0 warning(s)

I havn't edited any of the source code for that part of my program (it's
going to be a 'muli-purpose' with other things besides AW Bots..) just added
#include "Aw.h"
#include "Aw.lib"

It works when I use it in a console app, but it doesn't work with the one
started with MFC AppWizard.... any ideas how to fix those errors?

Don't #include "aw.lib". aw.lib is not a C header file, it is a binary file
which is why you are getting all those errors.

Add the aw.lib to the Project linker settings. It will link your code with
the aw.lib code and spit out a single program.

C++ programming concepts:

Start with a source file and some include files.

.c includes .h files

the next step is compiling the source and h files into objects.

.obj files.

these files contain intermediate code. Not runnable.
The aw.lib file contains .obj files. Its like a zip with with no
compression. Just a convenient way to collect .obj files together.
the next stage is linking the obj and lib files into a single runnable
program.

.exe

thats it.
