Got this code out of a windows programming book. The problem is the window doesn't open, just the error message box. How can I change the code to work with xp?
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, 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,
TEXT ("The Hello Program"),
WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,
CW_USEDEFAULT,
CW_USEDEFAULT,
CW_USEDEFAULT,
CW_USEDEFAULT,
NULL,
NULL,
hInstance,
NULL);
ShowWindow (hwnd, iCmdShow);
UpdateWindow (hwnd);
while (GetMessage (&msg, NULL, 0, 0))
{
TranslateMessage (&msg);
DispatchMessage (&msg);
}
}
LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc (HWND hwnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
HDC hdc;
PAINTSTRUCT ps;
RECT rect;
switch (message)
{
case WM_CREATE:
//PlaySound (TEXT ("hellowin.wave"), NULL, SND_FILENAME | SND_ASYNC);
return 0;
case WM_PAINT:
hdc = BeginPaint (hwnd, &ps);
GetClientRect (hwnd, &rect);
DrawText ( hdc, TEXT ("Hello, Windows 98!"), -1, &rect,
DT_SINGLELINE | DT_CENTER | DT_VCENTER);
EndPaint (hwnd, &ps);
return 0;
case WM_DESTROY:
PostQuitMessage (0);
return 0;
}
return DefWindowProc (hwnd, message, wParam, lParam);
}
Yes I know its pretty basic, just trying to get it working before I add on more.
