I took the advice of the site and started learning a bit of c++ and am also playing with visual c++ and have encountered a problem. Here is the code and at the bottom of the code is the error list. can you guys help because i can''t find the error. // day2aDlg.cpp : implementation file // #include "stdafx.h" #include "day2a.h" #include "day2aDlg.h" #ifdef _DEBUG #define new DEBUG_NEW #undef THIS_FILE static char THIS_FILE[] = __FILE__; #endif ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // CAboutDlg dialog used for App About class CAboutDlg : public CDialog { public: CAboutDlg(); // Dialog Data //{{AFX_DATA(CAboutDlg) enum { IDD = IDD_ABOUTBOX }; //}}AFX_DATA // ClassWizard generated virtual function overrides //{{AFX_VIRTUAL(CAboutDlg) protected: virtual void DoDataExchange(CDataExchange* pDX); // DDX/DDV support //}}AFX_VIRTUAL // Implementation protected: //{{AFX_MSG(CAboutDlg) //}}AFX_MSG DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP() }; CAboutDlg::CAboutDlg() : CDialog(CAboutDlg::IDD) { //{{AFX_DATA_INIT(CAboutDlg) //}}AFX_DATA_INIT } void CAboutDlg::DoDataExchange(CDataExchange* pDX) { CDialog::DoDataExchange(pDX); //{{AFX_DATA_MAP(CAboutDlg) //}}AFX_DATA_MAP } BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CAboutDlg, CDialog) //{{AFX_MSG_MAP(CAboutDlg) // No message handlers //}}AFX_MSG_MAP END_MESSAGE_MAP() ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // CDay2aDlg dialog CDay2aDlg::CDay2aDlg(CWnd* pParent /*=NULL*/) : CDialog(CDay2aDlg::IDD, pParent) { //{{AFX_DATA_INIT(CDay2aDlg) m_strMessage = _T(""); m_strProgToRun = _T(""); m_bEnablePgm = FALSE; m_bEnableMsg = FALSE; m_bShowMsg = FALSE; m_bShowPgm = FALSE; //}}AFX_DATA_INIT // Note that LoadIcon does not require a subsequent DestroyIcon in Win32 m_hIcon = AfxGetApp()->LoadIcon(IDR_MAINFRAME); } void CDay2aDlg::DoDataExchange(CDataExchange* pDX) { CDialog::DoDataExchange(pDX); //{{AFX_DATA_MAP(CDay2aDlg) DDX_Text(pDX, IDC_MSG, m_strMessage); DDX_CBString(pDX, IDC_ProgToRun, m_strProgToRun); DDX_Check(pDX, IDC_CKEMBLPGM, m_bEnablePgm); DDX_Check(pDX, IDC_CKENBLMSG, m_bEnableMsg); DDX_Check(pDX, IDC_CKSHWMSG, m_bShowMsg); DDX_Check(pDX, IDC_CKSHWPGM, m_bShowPgm); //}}AFX_DATA_MAP } BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CDay2aDlg, CDialog) //{{AFX_MSG_MAP(CDay2aDlg) ON_WM_SYSCOMMAND() ON_WM_PAINT() ON_WM_QUERYDRAGICON() ON_BN_CLICKED(IDC_SHWMSG, OnShwmsg) ON_BN_CLICKED(IDC_EXIT, OnExitMe) ON_BN_CLICKED(IDC_CLRMSG, OnClrmsg) ON_BN_CLICKED(IDC_CKENBLMSG, OnCkenblmsg) ON_BN_CLICKED(IDC_CKSHWMSG, OnCkshwmsg) //}}AFX_MSG_MAP END_MESSAGE_MAP() ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // CDay2aDlg message handlers BOOL CDay2aDlg::OnInitDialog() { CDialog::OnInitDialog(); // Add "About..." menu item to system menu. // IDM_ABOUTBOX must be in the system command range.

In void CDay2aDlg::OnCkenblmsg(), missing { after if, idem in void CDay2aDlg::OnCkshwmsg()... and maybe in other places.

Hint: post your code in a [source ][/source] box, it's easier on the eyes and will spare you scathing comments.
