Creating controls at runtime - Error

[kikelinus]

I get the followin error while trying to compile a program that creates an EDIT box at runtime:

--------------------Configuration: TextPad - Win32 Debug--------------------
Compiling...
Main.cpp
C:\Documents and Settings\Gustavo1\Desktop\henrique\TextPad\Main.cpp(82) : error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'void *' to 'struct HFONT__ *'
Conversion from 'void*' to pointer to non-'void' requires an explicit cast
Error executing cl.exe.

TextPad.exe - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the part where my errorr is supposed to be at...I have also included the #define which is at the beginning of the program

#define IDC_MAIN_EDIT	101
LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hwnd, UINT msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
	switch(msg)
	{
	case WM_CREATE:
		HFONT hfDefault;
		HWND hEdit;

		hEdit = CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE, "EDIT", "", 
			WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_VSCROLL | WS_HSCROLL | ES_MULTILINE | ES_AUTOVSCROLL | ES_AUTOHSCROLL, 
			0, 0, 100, 100, hwnd, (HMENU)IDC_MAIN_EDIT, GetModuleHandle(NULL), NULL);
		if(hEdit == NULL)
			MessageBox(hwnd, "Could not create edit box.", "Error", MB_OK | MB_ICONERROR);

		hfDefault = GetStockObject(DEFAULT_GUI_FONT);
		SendMessage(hEdit, WM_SETFONT, (WPARAM)hfDefault, MAKELPARAM(FALSE, 0));

	case WM_CLOSE:
		DestroyWindow(hwnd);
		break;
		
	case WM_DESTROY:
		PostQuitMessage(0);
		break;

	default:
		return DefWindowProc(hwnd, msg, wParam, lParam);
	}

	return 0;
}

Thanks.

hfDefault = (HFONT)GetStockObject(DEFAULT_GUI_FONT);

You need to explicitly cast the return value of GetStockObject.
