How can I create a Window

How can I create a Window in a Win32 App using Borland C++??? (Doesn't have to be complex or anything...:) )

This will create a window:

Code:

---

#include <windows.h>
LRESULT CALLBACK WindowFunc(HWND, UINT, WPARAM, LPARAM);
char szWinNamw[] = "MyWin";
int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hThisInst, HINSTANCE hPrevInst,
                                LPSTR kposzArgs, int nWinMode)


    {
            HWND hwnd;
            MSG msg;
            WNDCLASSEX wcl;
            wcl.cbSize = sizeof(WNDCLASSEX);
            wcl.hInstance = hThisInst;
            wcl.lpszClassName = "My Window";
            wcl.lpfnWndProc = WindowFunc;
            wcl.style = 0;
            wcl.hIcon = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_APPLICATION);
            wcl.hIconSm = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_WINLOGO);
            wcl.hCursor = LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW);
            wcl.lpszMenuName = NULL;
            wcl.cbClsExtra = 0;
            wcl.cbWndExtra = 0;
            wcl.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH) GetStockObject(WHITE_BRUSH);
            if(!RegisterClassEx(&wcl)) return 0;
            hwnd = CreateWindow(
                    "My Window",
                    "Skeleton Window",
                    WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,
                    CW_USEDEFAULT,
                    CW_USEDEFAULT,
                    CW_USEDEFAULT,
                    CW_USEDEFAULT,
                    HWND_DESKTOP,
                    NULL,
                    hThisInst,
                    NULL
                    );
            ShowWindow(hwnd, nWinMode);
            UpdateWindow(hwnd);
            while(GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0))


                {
                        TranslateMessage(&msg);
                        DispatchMessage(&msg);
                }
                return msg.wParam;
    }
    LRESULT CALLBACK WindowFunc(HWND hwnd, UINT message,
                                                            WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)


        {


                    switch(message)        {
                    case WM_DESTROY:
                            PostQuitMessage(0);
                            break;
                    default:
                            return DefWindowProc(hwnd, message, wParam, lParam);
                    }
                    return 0;
        }

I get the following errors:

Line 11:Undefined symbol 'WNDCLASSEX' in function __stdcall WinMain(void*,void*,char^,int)

Line 11: Statement missing ; in function __stdcall WinMain(void*,void*,char^,int)

It works fine in VC++ as for Borland C++ i never used it. But it is the same language the same API's. There must be some little catch in Borland.

Do you have a clue on what it might be???
Do you know where i can get VC++ (for free :) )

you're using borland turbo C++ 4.5, am I correct?

the default are borland EZWin

go to

Project -> New Project
and if it's not already selected, click "application(.exe)"

set your preferences, etc. click Ok...

No, I'm using Borland C++ 4.5.
But I discovered that the BC 4.5 compiler couldn't hande the Win32 API properly, so I downloaded the BC 5.5 compiler from borland's website, and it works fine now! :)
Thanks for all your help guys! :)
