a tiny problem...

[Amon Ra]

void DoMenuStuff(LPDRAWITEMSTRUCT ds)
{
	HBRUSH use_brush;	HBRUSH old_brush;		
	HPEN use_pen;		HPEN old_pen;
	HFONT use_font;		HFONT old_font;
	LOGFONT lf;
	RECT use_rect;		RECT top_rect;
	COLORREF color;

	switch(ds->itemID)
	{
	case ID_FIRST:
		{
			color = RGB(00,00,00);
			use_brush = CreateSolidBrush(color);
		}
	case ID_SECOND:
		{
			color = RGB(22,00,00);
			use_brush = CreateSolidBrush(color);
		}
	default:
		use_brush = CreateSolidBrush(GetSysColor(COLOR_MENU));
	}
}

This is just one function from the program(it is not finished)
I need to fill the selected area with using the brush created in teh switch(). I tried using:

FillRect(ds->hDC, ds->rcItem, use_brush);

but it gives me this error:

C:\My Documents\VC++ Projects\WinProg\odmenu_practice1\odmenus_practice1.cpp(179) : error C2664: 'FillRect' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'struct tagRECT' to 'const struct tagRECT *'
        No user-defined-conversion operator available that can perform this conversion, or the operator cannot be called

What could I do to avoid getting this error?(everything else works fine, just this part)
Thanks

The function needs the address of the variable.

[Amon Ra]

so, it should be like this:

FillRect(ds->hDC, &ds->rcItem, use_brush);

Thanks Vlatko
