dev c++

I want to start creating a application for windows with dev c++ 5 beta (I think its 4.992). I went into charles petzold and went to the first windows program.

Code:

---

#include <windows.h>

LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc (HWND, UINT, WPARAM, LPARAM) ;

int WINAPI WinMain (HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
                    PSTR szCmdLine, int iCmdShow)
{
static TCHAR szAppName[] = TEXT ("HelloWin") ;
HWND hwnd ;
MSG msg ;
WNDCLASS wndclass ;
wndclass.style = CS_HREDRAW | CS_VREDRAW ;
wndclass.lpfnWndProc = WndProc ;
wndclass.cbClsExtra = 0 ;
wndclass.cbWndExtra = 0 ;
wndclass.hInstance = hInstance ;
wndclass.hIcon = LoadIcon (NULL, IDI_APPLICATION) ;
wndclass.hCursor = LoadCursor (NULL, IDC_ARROW) ;
wndclass.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH) GetStockObject (WHITE_BRUSH) ;
wndclass.lpszMenuName = NULL ;
wndclass.lpszClassName = szAppName ;
if (!RegisterClass (&wndclass))
{
        MessageBox (NULL, TEXT ("This program requires Windows NT!"),
                              szAppName, MB_ICONERROR) ;
return 0 ;
}
hwnd = CreateWindow (szAppName, // window class name
                                      TEXT ("The Hello Program"), // window caption
                                      WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, // window style
                                      CW_USEDEFAULT, // initial x position
                                      CW_USEDEFAULT, // initial y position
                                      CW_USEDEFAULT, // initial x size
                                      CW_USEDEFAULT, // initial y size
                                      NULL, // parent window handle
                                      NULL, // window menu handle
                                      hInstance, // program instance handle
                                      NULL) ; // creation parameters
ShowWindow (hwnd, iCmdShow) ;
UpdateWindow (hwnd) ;

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

LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc (HWND hwnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam,  LP  ARAM lParam)
{
        HDC hdc ;
        PAINTSTRUCT ps ;

This code I have no idea how to get working.... I put it into a console app and it just gave me errors. What do i do to get this code working.
thanks for any help.

it is NOT a console application.
Choose another project type - don;t have a dev-c++ so cannot say how exactly they called it
It should be someething like "Win32 Application"

Yes, you need to select the Win32 project option.
