My C++/CLI program uses the WinAPI to create a document, and my use of the
Rectangle function--BOOL Rectangle (HDC hDC, int nLeft, int nTOP, int nRight,
int nBottom--results in a compiler error C2872-'Rectangle':ambiguous symbol.

How can I resolve this ambiguity?

Thanks,
David

Have you tried ::Rectangle( /*...*/); ?
