1. Avoid #ifdef spam. Write thunk emulations of missing APIs where possible. Here's an example for GetTickCount64(): https://github.com/boostorg/thread/blob/master/include/boost/thread/wi n32/thread_primitives.hpp#L290. Remember Boost still supports Windows XP and exclusively targets an XP level Win32 API. Use GetProcAddress for newer APIs. That's not actually possible for WinPhone apps. You need a library handle to call GetProcAddress, and LoadLibrary(Ex) and GetModuleHandle are both forbidden to Store apps. Only LoadPackagedLibrary is allowed, and that is itself a Windows 8-only function (and in fact a Store-only function).
I am aware of that. I was referring to emulating Win8/Phone functionality on WinXP. Sorry if I was unclear. Niall -- ned Productions Limited Consulting http://www.nedproductions.biz/ http://ie.linkedin.com/in/nialldouglas/
