Info here

For being such a helpfull guy, can you do me a favour (if using VC++), right click WM_MOUSEWHEEL and click goto definiton and tell me what the constant is. My SDK is out of date but i cant be asked downloading it all for one constant!

You need to define _WIN32_WINNT to be great than or equal to 0x0400 or _WIN32_WINDOWS to be greater than 0x0400.
