just cast the void* to a HBRUSH
winclass.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH) GetStockObject(BLACK_BRUSH);

Rid''s right. You looking at some of LaMothe''s books? That''s how it shows you to do it in there, but that''s for VC++ 5.0. If you have 6.0 you gotta do it as was mentioned.

If you code it, they will come...
