Edit Control

Hi, I have a error with my createwindow for the edit control:C2198 to few parameters.
As far as I can see the parameters are correct or am I not seeing something stupid that I did. If I comment out the createwindow for the edit control all compiles ok.

Code:

---

#include <windows.h>

#define IDC_EDIT WM_USER + 1000;

LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc( HWND hWnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam );

HINSTANCE hInst;

int WINAPI WinMain( HINSTANCE hThisInst, HINSTANCE hPrevInst, LPSTR lpszArgs, int nWinMode )
{
        WNDCLASSEX wc;
        HWND hwnd;
        HWND hEdit;
        MSG msg;
       
        hInst = hThisInst;
       
        // register window class
        wc.cbSize = sizeof( WNDCLASSEX );
        wc.style = 0;
        wc.lpfnWndProc = WndProc;
        wc.cbClsExtra = 0;
        wc.cbWndExtra = 0;
        wc.hInstance = hInst;
        wc.hIcon = LoadIcon( NULL, IDI_APPLICATION );
        wc.hIconSm = NULL;
        wc.hCursor = LoadCursor( NULL, IDC_ARROW );
        wc.hbrBackground = ( HBRUSH )GetStockObject( BLACK_BRUSH );
        wc.lpszMenuName = NULL;
        wc.lpszClassName = "EditBoxTest";
        RegisterClassEx( &wc );
       
        // create main window
        hwnd = CreateWindow( "EditBoxTest",
                                "EditBox Test",
                                WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,
                                0, 0, 800, 600,
                                NULL, NULL, hInst, NULL );

        // create edit box
        hEdit = CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE,TEXT("Edit"),"",WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE,
                            10,10,200,30,hwnd,
                            (HMENU)IDC_EDIT,hInst,NULL);

       
        ShowWindow( hwnd, nWinMode );
        UpdateWindow( hwnd );

        while( GetMessage( &msg, NULL, 0, 0 ) )
        {
                TranslateMessage( &msg );
                DispatchMessage( &msg );
        }
       
        return msg.wParam;
}

LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hwnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
        switch( message )
        {
                case WM_DESTROY: PostQuitMessage( 0 );
                                break;
                default: return DefWindowProc( hwnd, message, wParam, lParam );
                            break;
        }
        return 0;
}

I get the error "missing ';' before ','" when compiling your code. The reason for that is you have an extraneous semicoloin at the end of your #define at the top.

ugh I knew it would be something dumb, must have typed the ; without thinking. I never thought to check before winmain for the error, but i guess the error was in winmain as IDC_EDIT would have been replaced by a value with an ; on the end of it.
Thanks
