Vs8.0 2005

Hi,

I just got my VS 2005 in the mail today, and it is very nice. But a lot of bugs.


I tried to compile this, which works fine in 6.0:

Code:

---

#include <windows.h>

const char szTitle[] = "Hello";
const char szClass[] = "HelloApp";

LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc (HWND hwnd, UINT msg, WPARAM wParam,
                                                  LPARAM lParam);

INT WINAPI WinMain (HINSTANCE hInst, HINSTANCE hPrevInst,
                                        LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nShowCmd)
{
        HWND hwnd;
        MSG  msg ;
        WNDCLASSEX Wnd;

        Wnd.cbClsExtra = 0;
        Wnd.cbSize = sizeof(WNDCLASSEX);
        Wnd.cbWndExtra = 0;
        Wnd.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH)GetStockObject(BLACK_BRUSH);
        Wnd.hCursor = LoadCursor (NULL, IDC_ARROW);
        Wnd.hIcon  = LoadIcon  (NULL, IDI_APPLICATION);
        Wnd.hIconSm = LoadIcon  (NULL, IDI_APPLICATION);
        Wnd.hInstance = hInst;
        Wnd.lpfnWndProc = WndProc;
        Wnd.lpszClassName = (LPCWSTR)szClass;
        Wnd.lpszMenuName =NULL;
        Wnd.style = CS_HREDRAW | CS_VREDRAW;

        RegisterClassEx(&Wnd);

        hwnd = CreateWindow (szClass, szTitle,
                                WS_BORDER | WS_SYSMENU,
                                                0, 0, 200,500,NULL,NULL,hInst,NULL);

        if (!hwnd) return 0;

        ShowWindow(hwnd, SW_SHOWMINIMIZED);
        UpdateWindow(hwnd);

        while ( GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0 , 0 ) )
        {
                TranslateMessage(&msg);
                DispatchMessage (&msg);
        }

        return msg.wParam;
}

LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc (HWND hwnd, UINT msg, WPARAM wParam,
                                                  LPARAM lParam )
{
        switch (msg)
        {
        case WM_QUIT:
                PostQuitMessage(0);
                return 0;
        case WM_DESTROY:
                PostQuitMessage(0);
                return 0;
        default:
                return DefWindowProc(hwnd,msg,wParam,lParam);
        }
        return 0;
}

Now it says it needs to convert char to LPCWSTR for sz_Class and sz_Title...

And when I do that it compiles, but the title of the window look like some wierd symbol....


Can someone explain to me how to solve this problem?

You're compiling as UNICODE, but your code is not written for UNICODE compatibility.

how do i fix it...

I'm not sure. Search the project options for stuff containing "Unicode" and remove it.
