I keep getting an error that I dont understand can anyone help me my code is #include windows.h //didnt add the < cuz I hear they dont show #include string.h const char *CLASSNAME = "Tutorial", *WINNAME = "Tutorial 2 - The Window"; LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hWnd, unsigned int iMessage, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam); int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE, LPSTR, int nCmdShow) { HWND hWnd; MSG Message; WNDCLASS WndClass; // NOTE: The memset() here is added to deal with this code crashing on // WinNT (reported by Girish Deodhar, solution due to him as well) // The extra include statement is for memset() too... memset(&WndClass, 0, sizeof(WndClass)); WndClass.cbClsExtra = 0; WndClass.cbWndExtra = 0; // Typecast added.

Code works fine.

My guess is you used VC++ to generate the window for you, then changed or deleted the precompiled header.

Try creating an empty project without precompiled headers, and then add the code as a new file.

As far as #include <windows.h>, try typing it as the following:

#include &lt;windows.h&gt;

Also, as a suggestion, put your code in a source block. Just type:

    [source][/source]    

Just makes things easier to read.

    whoa    

what errror messages are you getting? o, btw, when you combine values for you window''s style, you need to do a ''/'' instead of a ''/'', the ''/'' means to logically OR the values together. the slash means divide...

What version of Visual C++ are you using? I suppose it doesn''t really matter...

Give this a try:

#include "stdafx.h" 

If you created this file yourself, but created your "Win32" app with the wizard, you will need to add this to the top of any cpp file that you create.


Let me know if it works,

heheh >GRIN<
See why he had slashes instead of pipes?
We really need to fix this "feature" of the message board.
I understand why the code converts the pipes to slashes but it is hard to write code on the board when it turns out looking like your a lousy coder

Anyway.... / == / (pipe == slash)
