Invalid Conversion

Code:

---

        case WM_CREATE:
                {
                        HFONT hfDefault;
                        HWND hEdit;
 
  // Took our horizontal viewing
                        hEdit = CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE, "EDIT", "",
                                      WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_VSCROLL | ES_MULTILINE | ES_AUTOVSCROLL,
                                      0, 0, 100, 100, hWnd, (HMENU)IDC_PRIME_EDIT, GetModuleHandle(NULL),
          NULL);
 
  // Just in case...               
                        if(hEdit == NULL)
                        {
                                MessageBox(hWnd, "Could not create edit box.", "Error", MB_OK | MB_ICONERROR);
                        }       

                        hfDefault = GetStockObject(DEFAULT_GUI_FONT);
                        SendMessage(hEdit, WM_SETFONT, (WPARAM)hfDefault, MAKELPARAM(FALSE, 0));
                }
                break;

The error it gave me was: 42 C:\Documents and Settings\Chris\My Documents\Programming\Dingua\main.cpp invalid conversion from `void*' to `HFONT__*'

Why?

You need to use a cast in this case:

Code:

---

hfDefault = (HFONT) GetStockObject(DEFAULT_GUI_FONT);

---

This is because GetStockObject can return other types of objects such as HBRUSH, HPEN, etc.

Thank you so much. :)
