Error while running with GDI+ in VC++6 application

Dear experts,
I've decided to enable my VC++6 with GDI+ graphics. By adding the following code:

typedef unsigned __int64 ULONG_PTR
#include <gdiplus.h>
using namespace Gdiplus;
#pragma comment (lib, "Gdiplus.lib")

to stdafx.h, I get the following error:

gdiplus.h(18) : error C2144: syntax error : missing ';' before type 'IDirectDrawSurface7'

I've tried to add the additional code needed to get VC++6 application running with GDI+, but still get the same error.
I'd be greatly appreciated for any suggestion.

Followig your comments:
if I don't define "typedef unsigned __int64 ULONG_PTR" I get the following error: diplusinit.h(32) : error C2065: 'ULONG_PTR' : undeclared identifier. If I do, I get the following error: ddraw.h(38) : error C2144: syntax error : missing ';' before type 'int'.
It would be nice you could take a look at the project, sure if you have vc++6 installed. Probably I miss something basic.
ok, try to send it to me to: emadns@yahoo.com
i received  a notification message saying: This notification has been sent to inform you that a message has been deleted .The message subject is GDI+ problem project. Why is this happening? The message you are sending is infected with a virus.

I'll be trying to send it again later... thanks for taking a care :)
