a tiny problem...

Code:

---

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:

Code:

---

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

---

but it gives me this error:

Code:

---

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.

so, it should be like this:

Code:

---

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

Thanks Vlatko :)
