VC++7 Problem

[FantastichenEin]

Hi,

I have just installed VC++7(Visual Studio.NET) on Windows 2000.

However when I do New Project > Win32 Project > Console app, it creates a main function like this:

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])

I realise that this is for multibyte programs, but I don't want that.

How do I get it to create a normal Main function.

Thanksssss

Juste put : void main(){......

_TCHAR is only wide characters if you #define UNICODE. Otherwise, _TCHAR evaluates to char.

No, it's for portable (in Windows terms) programs.

Just use int main(int argc, const char **argv) instead. (Not void main, Daok )

And you shouldnt use void main().

Ok thanks for the replies.

_tmain won't cross compile on linux, so I want to create a new project type that has int main instead. I know I could use Empty Project and insert the int main myself, but it would be nice to just be able to select it. Is this possible?

cheers

Maybe I'll port the tchar header to linux, it's really useful...

Then maybe I won't and just sit back because Win9x will die out and both the NT windows strain and UNIX support UNICODE.

Heh. GNOME 2 uses Unicode completely as well

[CornedBee]

Even better.
