Wrapping Win32 in classes

[mrafcho001]

Ok, im trying to make my own wrapper class for my win32 programs.

//basic structure of my win32 wrapper class
class Myclass
{
   LRESULT CALLBACK WinProc(HWND hwnd, UINT msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
...
}
int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int iCmdShow)
{
    WNDCLASSEX wc;
    ...
    wc.lpfnWndProc = WindProc; //I get an error when i try to compile
//Error	1	error C3867: 'MyClass::WndProc': function call missing argument list; use '&MyClass::WndProc' to create a pointer to member	c:\documents and settings\martinb\my documents\visual studio 2005\projects\calculator parser\calculator parser\main.cpp	31
//Error	2	error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'LRESULT (__stdcall MyClass::* )(HWND,UINT,WPARAM,LPARAM)' to 'WNDPROC'	c:\documents and settings\martinb\my documents\visual studio 2005\projects\calculator parser\calculator parser\main.cpp	31	


//Everything else is fine. Just that.

    ...
}
...
};

A callback cannot be a non-static member function.

Thank you.

I made it static, but now i get this error:

Error 1 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _WinMain@16 referenced in function ___tmainCRTStartup MSVCRTD.lib

how can I fix that one?

Do you have a WinMain function?

[mrafcho001]

yes, look above.

its in the class.

[bithub]

It can't be in the class. I think you need to spend some time learning regular C++ before you jump into Windows API programming.

>> It can't be in the class.

mrafcho001, the reason for this is because now you have the member "Myclass.WinMain", but you have no "WinMain" which it what the compiler is looking for.

[mrafcho001]

Yeah.

I though it might work because it does C#. But that was just a retarded assumption :-\
