Thread: Edit Control

Hi, I have a error with my createwindow for the edit control:C2198 to few parameters.
As far as I can see the parameters are correct or am I not seeing something stupid that I did. If I comment out the createwindow for the edit control all compiles ok.

Code:

#include <windows.h>

#define IDC_EDIT WM_USER + 1000;

LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc( HWND hWnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam );

HINSTANCE hInst;

int WINAPI WinMain( HINSTANCE hThisInst, HINSTANCE hPrevInst, LPSTR lpszArgs, int nWinMode )
{
	WNDCLASSEX wc;
	HWND hwnd;
	HWND hEdit;
	MSG msg;
	
	hInst = hThisInst;
	
	// register window class
	wc.cbSize = sizeof( WNDCLASSEX );
	wc.style = 0;
	wc.lpfnWndProc = WndProc;
	wc.cbClsExtra = 0;
	wc.cbWndExtra = 0;
	wc.hInstance = hInst;
	wc.hIcon = LoadIcon( NULL, IDI_APPLICATION );
	wc.hIconSm = NULL;
	wc.hCursor = LoadCursor( NULL, IDC_ARROW );
	wc.hbrBackground = ( HBRUSH )GetStockObject( BLACK_BRUSH );
	wc.lpszMenuName = NULL;
	wc.lpszClassName = "EditBoxTest";
	RegisterClassEx( &wc );
	
	// create main window
	hwnd = CreateWindow( "EditBoxTest", 
		                 "EditBox Test", 
		                 WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,
		                 0, 0, 800, 600,
		                 NULL, NULL, hInst, NULL );

	// create edit box
	hEdit = CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE,TEXT("Edit"),"",WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE,
                             10,10,200,30,hwnd,
                             (HMENU)IDC_EDIT,hInst,NULL);

	
	ShowWindow( hwnd, nWinMode );
	UpdateWindow( hwnd );

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

LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hwnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
	switch( message )
	{
		case WM_DESTROY: PostQuitMessage( 0 );
		                 break;
		default: return DefWindowProc( hwnd, message, wParam, lParam );
			     break;
	}
	return 0;
}

I get the error "missing ';' before ','" when compiling your code. The reason for that is you have an extraneous semicoloin at the end of your #define at the top.

ugh I knew it would be something dumb, must have typed the ; without thinking. I never thought to check before winmain for the error, but i guess the error was in winmain as IDC_EDIT would have been replaced by a value with an ; on the end of it.
Thanks
