Thread: graphics....linking resource files...

ok i have the cpp file rc file and header file and im trying to link them together: on DEV C++ i put this all in a project i hit rebuild all it links it makes the .dll file then i goto run and it says:

host application not found! goto execution menu parameters and that part confuses me i dont get that parameters thing

Code:

#include <windows.h>
#include "resource.h"

const char g_szClassName[] = "myWindowClass";

// Step 4: the Window Procedure
LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hwnd, UINT msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
    switch(msg)
    {
                       case WM_LBUTTONDOWN:
// BEGIN NEW CODE
        {
            char szFileName[MAX_PATH];
            HINSTANCE hInstance = GetModuleHandle(NULL);

            GetModuleFileName(hInstance, szFileName, MAX_PATH);
            if(MessageBox(hwnd, szFileName, "This program is:", MB_OK | MB_ICONINFORMATION == IDOK));
            MessageBox(hwnd, "TO TELL YOU","I HATE YOU ALL", MB_OK | MB_ICONINFORMATION);
        
        
        }
//END NEW CODE
        case WM_CLOSE:
             {
                      bool close;
                     
                      //LABEL4:
                      if(MessageBox(NULL,"ONLY THE LUBEMAN CAN CLOSE THIS!!!!", "So Are You The LUBEMAN???", MB_YESNO | MB_ICONERROR == IDNO));
                      {
                      close = false;
                      //if(close == true)
                      MessageBox(NULL,"Thank you","HAVE a good day and remeber USE THE LUBE LUBEMAN!!!!", MB_OK);
                      
                      //DestroyWindow(hwnd);
                      //goto label5;
                      }

lol i forgot i commented all that out cause this my first adventure into graphics lol

well i ment the dll thing it saids its compiling everything linking it all and the last thing is some dll file then i click on run and it saids that host application error

its like it saids it compiles and links fine but bombs when i hit run?

and what is that parameters it is talking about i dont that either?

well i thought u ment something else with the dll things nor do i have any clue what your natural langauge is so if i was rude sorry i mis understood your dll part since i didnt think it had relevance here aka im just blantantly confused

and wait i just tried making an empty project and it works fine....hmm oh well lol now to get the menu items to do stuff when i click on them but yes thanks anyway sorry didnt mean to be rude didnt think i was being rude
