LoadIcon using MingwTDM 64bit

I am not a very experienced c++ programmer.
I am using the MinGWTDM g++ compiler to create a 64bit unicode gui application.


Everything compiles and runs fine if I comment out this line

Code:

---

wcx.hIcon= LoadIcon( hInst, MAKEINTRESOURCE( IDI_APPLICATION));

---

with that line I get

Code:

---

error: cast from 'LPWSTR {aka wchar_t*}' to 'WORD {aka short unsigned int}' loses precision [-fpermissive]

---

I would rather not use -fpermissive


The app compiles fine using cl from the Win7.1SDK.


Thanks for any tips.

You don't have have to call MAKEINTRESOURCE(), just pass in IDI_APPLICATION directly and NULL instead of hInst.

LoadIcon function (Windows)

Thank you Codeplug. What stumped me was that cl from the Win 7.1 SDK compiled it just fine in a 64bit app
