findfirstfile

Does anyone know whats wrong with this line of code because I cannot figure it out.

"dir" is a textbox containing the directory.

Code:

---


        int temp;
        char wtxt[25];
        HWND fhwnd;
        WIN32_FIND_DATA fd;

temp = GetWindowText(dir, wtxt,25);

fhwnd = FindFirstFile(wtxt,&fd);

---

this is the error I get:

cannot convert from 'void *' to 'struct HWND__ *'
Conversion from 'void*' to pointer to non-'void' requires an explicit cast

On which line are you gettings this error? Try typecasting with "(HWND)" or declare fhwnd as HANDLE.

.........aahhhhhh why would a function that finds a FILE handle return a windows handle?

To add to abdul's statement

I think you want to delcare:

HANDLE fhwnd;

thanks, that was the problem
