I'm just trying to get the Hello World program to display in a Win32 App (I think that's what I picked)
It compiles fine, but when I try and run the program it does do anything.Code:// New Test1.cpp : Defines the entry point for the application. // #include "stdafx.h" #include "stdio.h" #include "iostream.h" #include "conio.h" int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow) { cout<<"Hello World!"; getch(); return 0; }
MSVC++ Intro Version
If you want a console in a win32 application (as oposed to a console application) you'll have to make your own -
Code:int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow) { LPCSTR output= "Hello World!"; LPCSTR terminate = "Press any key to continue..."; DWORD written; DWORD read; INPUT_RECORD ir; AllocConsole(); WriteConsole(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), output,strlen(output),&written,NULL); WriteConsole(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), "\n",1,&written,NULL); WriteConsole(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), terminate,strlen(terminate),&written,NULL); for(;; ) { ReadConsoleInput(GetStdHandle(STD_INPUT_HANDLE),&ir,1,&read); if (ir.EventType==KEY_EVENT) break; } FreeConsole(); return 0; }
Alternatively, select console app from the menu.

Well that's what MSVC++ started me with. Then it had a spot that said code here, so I did and it won't do anything when I want it to run.
Replace
cout<<"Hello World!";
getch();
with
MessageBox(NULL, "Hello World!", "My Program", MB_OK | MB_ICONINFORMATION);
you can't use functions like cout or getch(); in a windows program!
Really!?! LOL, I never knew that.
Thanks man, that really helps!
So what kind of Windows thing was that? A Win32 App? Here's the code for anyone who wants to answer the question
Code:// New Test1.cpp : Defines the entry point for the application. // #include "stdafx.h" #include "stdio.h" #include "iostream.h" #include "conio.h" int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow) { MessageBox(NULL, "Hello World!", "My Program", MB_OK | MB_ICONINFORMATION); }
