Did u #include?

you didn''t write WinMain, so the linker can''t find it.

You need to declare the function WinMain, since this is the starting point of all Win32 applications.
int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPredInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nShowCmd){ // Do stuff...this is basically your "main" function from console programming} This topic is closed to new replies.
