Thread: A Problem with DialogBox()

I am having a problem with dialog box. When I call the dialog procedure in the 4th argument, it reports the followig error:

Code:

C:\Program Files\DevStudio\MyProjects1\WhatClr\main.cpp(139) : error C2664: 'DialogBoxParamA' : cannot convert parameter 4 from 'int (void *,unsigned int,unsigned int,long)' to 'int (__stdcall *)(void)'
Error executing cl.exe.

the rest of the code:

Code:

#include <windows.h>
#include "resource.h"
#define ID_TIMER 1
#define ID_EDIT 1

LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc (HWND , UINT, WPARAM, LPARAM);
BOOL CALLBACK AboutDlgProc(HWND, UINT, WPARAM, LPARAM);

thanks in advance

Blame it on msvc. DialogBox is a macro that calls DialogBoxParam. The 4th parameter complained about - the DlgProc - is of the correct type despite the error msg.

Things to try:

1. clean & rebuild all.

if that fails:

2. Start a completely new project with your source and resources and delete the old project files.

absolutley change this one;

if (LOWORD (lParam) == ID_EDIT ---.> to this "LOWORD(wParam)"

instead of - if (HIWORD (iSelect) == LOWORD (iSelect))-
use

try this ------ -----if(iSelect != (-1)--------------------------------------

in WM_COMMAND
child id = LOWORD(wParam)

Thanks for the help guys, I am rather new to windows programming, so I didnt think to cast it as something.
