	~~Welcome to using Phidgets with C! By using C, you will have access to the complete Phidget22 API, including events.~~

	~~Visual Studio is an IDE provided by Microsoft that can be used to develop code in a wide variety of programming languages, including C/C++.~~

	~~==Using Phidgets in Your Programs==~~

	There are two main ways you can go about adding Phidgets to your programs in Visual Studio. You can either start from a working project provided by the Phidgets code sample generator, or you can add the Phidgets libraries to an existing Visual Studio project.

	~~Select your preferred method below for instructions:~~

	~~{{Finding Code Samples\|C}}~~

	~~==Using the Code Samples==~~

	~~You can download a working '''Visual Studio''' project for '''C''' directly from the~~ [~~{{server}}/?view=code_samples&lang=C Code Samples] page. Simply make your selections, and click the '''Visual Studio Project''' button under '''Downloads'''.~~

	[~~[File:C_Visual_Studio_Sample_Download.jpg\|center\|border\|link=\|800px]]~~


	~~Open the example project and start the example by pressing the ''Start'' button:~~

	~~Adding Phidgets to an Existing Project=~~

	~~==Setting up a New Project==~~
	~~When you are building a project from scratch, or adding Phidget functionality to an existing project, you'll need to configure your development environment to properly link the Phidget~~ C ~~library. To begin:~~


	~~Create a new Win32 Console application:~~

	~~[[Image:C_vs_newproject.PNG\|link=\|center\|800px]]~~


	~~Select an empty project and finish:~~

	~~[[Image:C_vs_emptyproject.PNG\|link=\|center~~]]


	~~If you are using a 64-bit machine, select x64, otherwise, keep x86:~~

	~~[[Image:C_vs_configuration.png\|link=\|center\|800px]]~~


	~~Next, add a new item to your source folder:~~

	~~Give the source file a descriptive name and continue:~~

	~~Access the project's properties:~~

	~~[[Image:C_vs_propertie.png\|link=\|center\|800px]]~~


	~~Next, navigate to Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> General and add the following line to the additional include directories:~~
	*C:\Program Files\Phidgets\Phidget22


	~~[[Image:C_vs_additionalinclude.png\|link=\|center\|800px]]~~


	~~Navigate to Configuration Properties -> Linker -> Input and add the appropriate line to the additional dependencies:~~
	*C:\Program Files\Phidgets\Phidget22\phidget22.lib (for 64-bit systems)
	*C:\Program Files\Phidgets\Phidget22\x86\phidget22.lib (for 32-bit systems)

	~~[[Image:C_vs_additionadepend.png\|link=\|center\|800px]]~~

	~~Finally, include the Phidget library in your code, and any other header files:~~

	~~<syntaxhighlight lang='C'>~~
	~~#include <phidget22.h>~~
	~~</syntaxhighlight>~~

	~~[[Image:C_vs_finished.PNG\|link=\|center\|800px]]~~


	~~Success! The project now has access to Phidgets.~~

	==~~Use Our Examples~~==		==Using Phidgets in Your Programs==
	One of the best ways to start programming with Phidgets is to use our example code as a guide. In order to run the examples, you will need to download and install [https://www.visualstudio.com/ Microsoft Visual Studio].

			There are two main ways you can go about adding Phidgets to your programs in Visual Studio. You can either start from a working project provided by the Phidgets code sample generator, or you can add the Phidgets libraries to an existing Visual Studio project.

	~~Now that you have Microsoft Visual Studio installed, select an example that will work with~~ your ~~Phidget~~:		Select your preferred method below for instructions:
