Man This Stinks

[FunyBunyFartAHH]

Could ne one help me here? im now gettin into windows API, and I tried to manually debug it, but I cannot snatch the error. help ne one?

Here it is:

#include <windows.h>

LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc (HWND hWindow, UNIT iMessage, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam);

int WINAPI WinMain (HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInst, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nShowCmd)
{
WNDCLASS kWndClass;

kWndClass.hCursor = LoadCursor (NULL, IDC_ARROW);
kWndClass.hIcon = LoadIcon (NULL, IDI_APPLICATION);
kWndClass.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH) GetStockObject (WHITE_BRUSH);

kWndClass.hInstance = hInstance;
kWndClass.lpfnWndProc = WndProc;
kWndClass.lpszClassName = "Alex's Window";

kWndClass.lpszMenuName = NULL;

kWndClass.cbClsExtra = NULL;
kWndClass.cbWndExtra = NULL;
kWndClass.style = NULL;

if (!RegisterClass (&kWndClass))
{
return -1;
}

HWND hWindow;

hWindow = CreateWindow ("Alex's Window", "A Blank Window", WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW | WS_VISIBLE, CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT, NULL, NULL, hInstance, NULL);

MSG kMessage;
while (GetMessage (&kMessage, hWindow, 0, 0))
{
TranslateMessage (&kMessage);
DispatchMessage (&kMessage)
}

return 0;
}

LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc (HWND hWindow, UNIT iMessage, WPARAM wParam, LPARAm lParam)
{
switch (iMessage)
{
case WM_CLOSE;
POSTQUITMESSAGE (0);
break;

default:
return DefWindowProc (hWindow, iMessage, wParam, lParam);
}
return 0;
}

I'd Appreciate any help! thanks ohh and here are the errors....

instead of UNIT try UINT where you declare the WndProc procedure...

[CornedBee]

I could solve every error for you, but that would be of little use to you.

First I recommend you walk through your app and search for missing ; or places where you confused : and ;
I see two errors coming from that.

Then you should correct the error Arawn pointed out. UINT is an abbreviation for unsigned integer.

Next check case. C++ is case sensitive and names of the windows API follow a simple case scheme: types and constants are all capitals (1 error) and functions start with a capital and each word in them also starts with a capital (1 error).

The remaining errors (2) are follow-ups.

[FunyBunyFartAHH]

Alright, thaks guys, I appreciate it

[Jop]

And please always place your code here between code tags:

[code] Your code here [/code]

It makes it easier to read since the code is posted exactely (formatting) as you wrote it, and it makes it easier to see in a glance what's code and what not.

[FunyBunyFartAHH]

Ok thanks guys, im down to 1 error, and im guessing its the function begining not begining with a capital, but where?????

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MyProjects\Window\Window S.cpp(43) : error C2447: missing function header (old-style formal list?)

[CornedBee]

What are the lines around line 43? And 43 itself too of course.

[CornedBee]

Could it be that you added a ; here?

}

LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc (HWND hWindow, UNIT iMessage, WPARAM wParam, LPARAm lParam) <--
{
switch (iMessage)

[FunyBunyFartAHH]

I erased it and still has one error of the header ****ing old style

[CornedBee]

Show me your new code.
And mark the line where the error occurs.

[FunyBunyFartAHH]

alright here:

#include <windows.h>

LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc (HWND hWindow, UINT iMessage, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam);

int WINAPI WinMain (HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInst, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nShowCmd)
{
	WNDCLASS kWndClass;

	kWndClass.hCursor   = LoadCursor (NULL, IDC_ARROW);
	kWndClass.hIcon    = LoadIcon (NULL, IDI_APPLICATION);
	kWndClass.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH) GetStockObject (WHITE_BRUSH);

	kWndClass.hInstance   = hInstance;
	kWndClass.lpfnWndProc   = WndProc;
	kWndClass.lpszClassName   = "Alex's Window";

	kWndClass.lpszMenuName   = NULL;

	kWndClass.cbClsExtra   = NULL;
	kWndClass.cbWndExtra   = NULL;
	kWndClass.style   = NULL;

	if (!RegisterClass (&kWndClass))
	{
		return -1;
	}

	HWND hWindow;

	hWindow = CreateWindow ("Alex's Window", "A Blank Window", WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW | WS_VISIBLE, CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT, NULL, NULL, hInstance, NULL);
	
	MSG kMessage;
	while (GetMessage (&kMessage, hWindow, 0, 0))
	{
		TranslateMessage (&kMessage);
		DispatchMessage (&kMessage);
	}

	return 0;
}

LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc (HWND hWindow, UINT iMessage, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam);
{
	switch (iMessage)
	{
		case WM_CLOSE;
			POSTQUITMESSAGE (0);
			break;

	default:
		return DefWindowProc (hWindow, iMessage, wParam, lParam)
	}
	return 0;
}

It dose not really tell me where but once I saw a bue arrow right here:

LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc (HWND hWindow, UINT iMessage, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam);
{

The bracket under the function.

So I dont know if this helped you help me....
Thanks ne way.

[transcendental]

LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc (HWND hWindow, UINT iMessage, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam);
{

Remove the ; like CornedBee has told you.

LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc (HWND hWindow, UINT iMessage, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{

[FunyBunyFartAHH]

that generates 5 more errors and like 1 warning:

I cannot make ne thing of it lol

[FunyBunyFartAHH]

ok never mind, only creates 2 more errors, the other ones were my fault, here are the 2 more:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MyProjects\Window\Window S.cpp(47) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ':' before ';'

[Sastraxi]

Look at the switch in WndProc.

[FunyBunyFartAHH]

ok thanks guys

[FunyBunyFartAHH]

ok this is really starting to piss me off..... Ok there are 0 errors in building it, but two errors in compieling it! *** god, I hate this compieler.................. and it hates me.. ok here they are:

Ok? some one help? dont tell me you need the code because I posted it only like 6 times above, please help! I need this crap to work!!!!!

[FunyBunyFartAHH]

people? please? help?

[Zaei]

Create a new project that is NOT a Win32 Console Application, but a Win32 Application. Console applications use main as the entry point, Win32 applications use WinMain.

Z.

[FunyBunyFartAHH]

Zaei, it is a win32 app. , not a console, thanks 4 trying tho

[FunyBunyFartAHH]

wait... hold on.... it works!!!!!!!!! YEAH THANKS FINALLY FOR THE SAKE OF GOD!!!!!!!! I thought I made sure it was a win 32 app.
damn....
