Hi,
I'm trying to learn some Win programming but I got stuck directly...
I've downloaded a toturial and a sample source code for a very simple program, but when I try to run it I get an error message box stating: "You have accidently used the dummy version of OwlMain" .. ??
What is this? Is it the program, the compiler or the fact that I run Win ME?
The source to the simple progam is found at:
http://www.relisoft.com/win32/source/winnie.zip
I would greatly appreciate any help..

Hi, fellow newbie!
And the fun has JUST BEGUN.
Yes, be prepared for LOTS of hand-wringing as you venture ever so deeper into the quagmire of Windows programming...
I too had the same difficulty, and, although I STILL can't make neither heads nor tails of code like you posted (So I can't answer your original question), I would be glad to share what working code I have so that you may too enjoy a completely useless Windows app--chockful of all the bells and whistles you're hankering for:
Namely,
a window,
a title-bar,
a line of text,
and an oval.
No, don't thank me--please, the pleasure is all mine
But you'll have to wait till tomorrow. Sucker.
Code:#include <cmath> #include <complex> bool euler_flip(bool value) { return std::pow ( std::complex<float>(std::exp(1.0)), std::complex<float>(0, 1) * std::complex<float>(std::atan(1.0) *(1 << (value + 2))) ).real() < 0; }
It sounds as if your compiler options are wrong. Make sure you have not selected the 'Object Windows Library'.You have accidently used the dummy version of OwlMain
To be perfectly honest, the sourcecode looks far too complicated to begin with. Why not try one of the tutorials linked to in this board's FAQ?

Well, I'm afraid my offering will be less generous than expected (couldn't find the one I was referring to) , but this should work, and is much more readable than the one you provided.
Oh yeah, and if it doesn't compile correctly, you need to adjust your "linkers" settings on your compiler, and/or be sure you are compiling it as a "GUI"(windows) app and not a "console" app.
Happy Confusing-er Coding...

Oki.. thanx for all your help, I'll get stareted on those tutorials right away..
