Win32 with C++

I know that there it is possible to program Win32 applications using C++, but half the time, I get all kinds of errors, based off of things that were fine in C, but a no-no in C++. For example...

Code:

---

HBITMAP CreateBitmap(int nWidth, int nHeight,
                    UINT cPlanes, UINT cBitsPerPixel,
                    CONST VOID* lpvBits);

---

I'm refering to the last perameter specifically. In C, using a void* is fine, but when I try to use this function in C++, I get an error for casting an int* as a void*. How would I work around things like this?

Make sure you take into consideration const.

What do you mean? Would I need to remove that for C++.

No, I was thinking of casting from within CreateBitmap().

static_cast() should be fine.

I believe reinterpret_cast would be more appropriate since it's a pointer-to-pointer conversion.

Ahh. I still have much to learn of C++. Heh.
