[willc0de4food]

hey, i've gotten my program to compile before but now i'm getting an error. the part of the code that has the error, is when the user double clicks and item in the listbox, it opens up the location in explorer. heres the code..

WORD wID,wNotify;
            HWND hCntrl;
            int selected = 0, len = 0;
            char path[MAX_PATH] = {0}, cmd[22] = "Explorer.exe /select,";
            char *command;
            
            if (SendMessage(GetDlgItem(hwnd, ID_INPUTDIR), WM_MOUSEHOVER, 0, (LPARAM)

            wID=LOWORD(wParam);
            wNotify=HIWORD(wParam);
            hCntrl=(HWND)lParam;
            
            if (lParam)
            {
            /*notification is from a control*/
              if (wID==ID_LISTOUT)
              {
                 /*notification is from a listbox control with id of 'ID_OF_LISTBOX'*/
                 if (wNotify==LBN_DBLCLK)
                 {
                     /*an item has been double clicked and we'll open it in an explorer window*/
                     selected = SendMessage(hCntrl, LB_GETCURSEL, 0, 0);
                     SendMessage(hCntrl, LB_GETTEXT, (WPARAM)selected, (LPARAM)path);
                     
                     len = strlen(cmd) + strlen(path) + 1;
                     command = malloc(len * sizeof(char));
                     strcpy(command, cmd);
                     strcat(command, path);
                     
                     STARTUPINFO         si = { sizeof(STARTUPINFO) };
	                 PROCESS_INFORMATION pi = { 0 };

	                 CreateProcess(NULL, command, NULL, NULL, FALSE, 0, NULL, NULL, &si, &pi);

                     CloseHandle(pi.hThread);
	                 CloseHandle(pi.hProcess);
                 }
              }
            }

and here's the error i'm getting..

main.c: In function `WindowProcedure':
main.c:635: warning: use of cast expressions as lvalues is deprecated
main.c:635: error: syntax error before ';' token

make.exe: *** [main.o] Error 1

Count parens:

if (SendMessage(GetDlgItem(hwnd, ID_INPUTDIR), WM_MOUSEHOVER, 0, (LPARAM)

Ha, that happens to me all to often, it's good to see that others make the same mistake.

If you type in () followed by pressing the left cursor key, you'll never have mis-matched parens

Same goes for {} /**/ "" or anything else which needs to be balanced.
