Cannot open include file: 'graphics.h': No such file or directory

I am using #include "graphics.h" in c++.

I am using visual studio 2008 as my IDE.

The problem is I can't build my code.

Here is my code...

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include "graphics.h"
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<dos.h>

char game[3][3];
void screen(void);
void introducing(void);
void input(void);
void circle(int,int);
void cross(int,int);

void main(void)
{
int gd=DETECT, gm, errorcode;   /* request auto detection */
char msg[80];
initgraph(&gd,&gm,"\\tc\\bgi"); /* initialize graphics */
errorcode = graphresult();      /* read result of initialization */
if(errorcode != grOk)
{
printf("Graphics error: %s\n", grapherrormsg(errorcode));
printf("Press any key to halt:");
getch();
exit(1);
}
cleardevice();
introducing();
getche();
cleardevice();
screen();
getche();
closegraph();
}

Those functions and header are part of the old Borland graphics extensions and are not part of the standard C library or Visual Studio.

with #include "graphics.h" you include a header file of a library into your code. The header file must be in the include paths of visual studio. You can set additional include paths in the project propert within VS 2008.

To do so: right click on Project in the project explorer ->Properties ->Additional Include directories

Are you by chance trying to use the features from the Borland Graphics Interface for 16-bit DOS applications?
