int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,
HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPSTR lpCmdLine,
int nCmdShow)
{

MessageBox(NULL, "\tHello World!", "My first windows app", NULL);
return 0;
}

anyone helpful ?
compiling with bcc32 (borland) and tried with MSVisual C++ 2005 Express

DamN (nickname)

Visual express is JUST the compiler and associated programs.

You also need the platform SDK
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/ex...alc/usingpsdk/

with borland

Quote:

---

bcc32 -tW helloworld.cpp

try that

edit

and make sure your bcc32.cfg file is configured

Code:

---

-I"c:\Borland\Bcc55\Include"

      -L"c:\Borland\Bcc55\Lib"

edit
also check the faq on this bb

First: you shouldn't use Borland. It's not very actual. I tried to compile my first Windows-API program there too, but I didn't succeed Dev-C++ is a good replacement, but MSVisual C++ 2005 Express should work.

Did you try what kryptkat suggested?

Dev-C++ is good, though: http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html

I can't use Borland anymore :P I use Linux most of the time, Windows is still on my pc, but it doesn't want to start anymore :P But it doesn't matter, I have the files and I can install them on another pc.

You should note though, that Dev-C++ is not an actual compiler. It's an integrated development enviroment, just like Code::Blocks, and KDevelop. With Dev-C++ and Code::Blocks, you can choose between gcc (Gnu C Compiler), or MinGW.

On the other hand, Visual C++ is both an integrated development envirment, AND a compiler. And you can't change the compiler that Visual C++ uses (at least not easily).
