Funky Error

warning C4003: not enough actual parameters for macro 'CreateWindowA'
error C2059: syntax error : 'constant'

I have a header file

#include <windows.h>

class cWindowManager {
public:
	bool CreateWindow(int width, int height, int bits);
	bool DestroyWin();
private:
	HDC			hdc;	//Device Context
	HGLRC		hrc;	//Render Context
	HWND		hwn;	//Window Handle
	HINSTANCE	hin;	//Instance
	RECT		rect;	//Screen Rectangle
	WNDCLASS	wc;		//Window Class
	DEVMODE		ss;		//Screen Settings
	DWORD		s;		//Style
	DWORD		xs;		//Extended Style
	short		depth;	//Depthbuffer Specification
	unsigned int pf;	//Pixel Format
};

and a source file that defines the function CreateWindow

#include "WindowManager.h"

bool cWindowManager::CreateWindow(int width, int height, int bits) {
	
	----code----

}

The error is flagged in both places where the function is named. This is not an error I have seen before, so I dont know what the deal is.

MSVC Help says this, but im not getting anywhere.

Compiler Warning (level 1) C4003
not enough actual parameters for macro 'identifier'

The number of actual parameters specified with the given identifier was less than the number of formal parameters given in the macro definition of the identifier.

When a formal parameter is referenced in the definition and the corresponding actual parameter has not been provided, empty text is substituted in the macro expansion.

Any ideas? Im using MSVC 6.0 Pro on Windows XP if it matters. It was building fine, then it started giving this error...

I think CreateWindow is already defined in windows.h, so you might try either renaming that function or putting it inside a namespace.

doh, I think your right.
