<string> not found when included in a .h file

[mtechmatt]

Hi,

I need to use <string> (standard in C++ libraries and am working in a C++ project. My header file is a normal .h, and on compiling I get the below. Oddly, if I select string in the header and view declaration, the standard file opens up just fine?

Any ideas people?

You cannot include C++ headers from a C file.

You will have to rework the project so this only gets included from within *.cpp files.
