help with creating window

Code:

---

#include <windows.h>

#define WndClsname[] "Justin's window class"


LRESULT CALLBACK WndProcedure( HWND hwnd, UNIT msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam);




INT WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
                  LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow )
{
  HWND hwnd;
  WNDCLASSEX wc;
  MSG msg;
 
  wc.cbSize      = sizeof(WNDCLASSEX);
  wc.style      = CS_VREDRAW|CS_HREDRAW;
  wc.lpfnWndProc = WndProcedure;
  wc.cbClsExtra    = 0;
  wc.cbWndExtra    = 0;
  wc.hInstance    = hInstance;
  wc.hIcon        = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_APPLICATION);
  wc.hCursor      = LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW);
  wc.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH)GetStockObject(BLACK_BRUSH);
  wc.lpszMenuName  = NULL;
  wc.lpszClassName = WndClsname;
  wc.hIconSm      = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_APPLICATION);
 
  if(!RegisterClassEx(&wc))
    {
        MessageBox(NULL, "Window Registration Failed!", "Error!",
            MB_ICONEXCLAMATION | MB_OK);
        return 0;
    }

  hwnd = CreateWindowEx
  (WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE,
    WndClsname,
    "The title of the window",
    WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,
    CW_USEDEFAULT,
    CW_USEDEFAULT,
    320,120,
    NULL,NULL,hInstance, NULL
    );
    if(hwnd == NULL)
    {
        MessageBox(NULL, "Window Creation Failed!", "Error!",
            MB_ICONEXCLAMATION | MB_OK);
        return 0;
    }

    ShowWindow(hwnd, nCmdShow);
    UpdateWindow(hwnd);


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

}

LRESULT CALLBACK WndProcedure( HWND hwnd, UNIT msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)

i get errors concerning UNIT is undeclared,
invalid conversion from `LRESULT (*)(HWND__*, int, WPARAM, LPARAM)' to `LRESULT (*)(HWND__*, UINT, WPARAM, LPARAM)', and
expected primary-expression before ']' token

You mean UINT not UNIT,

Keep your Window class name simple, and avoid spaces, also you're not allowed special characters in macros ;)

Code:

---

#define WND_CLASS_NAME "JUSTINS_WC"

wc.lpszClassName = WND_CLASS_NAME;

/* ... */

  hwnd = CreateWindowEx
  (WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE,
    WND_CLASS_NAME,
/* ... */

Hey, thanks for helping me for my syntax error and i'll stray from using special characters in macros xD

im using resource file to make a new cursor...
i used icon suite program for the visual editor, and script the rc file
in bloodshed(latest ver)

Code:

---

#include "resource.h"

IDC_REDCUR  CURSOR "Red.cur"

---

This is the .rc script and the
header i just type in #define IDC_REDCUR 104 .

for the program i just modtify it with
wc.hCursor = LoadCursor(hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDC_REDCUR));
and the image is 16x16 256 color ...

the problem is that it doesn't show the custom cursor and instead the default one

yes, the imfamous UNIT bug, i just made this one myself not 5 minutes ago :|

try this instead:

Code:

---

wc.hCursor = LoadCursor(hInstance, TEXT ("IDC_REDCUR"));

---

it's weird but it saids
[Resource error] cursor file `Red.cur' does not contain cursor data
xD
well this is the problem but the file i use i made with an external visual editor
