Windows Programming

[neha kapila]

hey, i am a beginner in windows programming. I have written a code for drawing shapes  as follows:-

#include <windows.h>

void OnPaint(HWND);
void OnDestroy(HWND);

int stdcall WinMain(HINSTANCE HInstance,HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,LPSTR lpszCmdline, int nCmdShow)
{
   MSG m;

   //PERFORM APPLICATION INITIALIZATION
InitInstance(hinstance, nCmdShow, "Text");
   //main message loop
while(GetMessage(&m,NULL,0,0))
      DispatchMessage(&m);
   return 0;
}
LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hWnd , UINT message, WPARAM wParam,LPARAM lParam)
/*WndProc=windows procedure.This function is a message processing function
for our window. It will process any messages Windows sends to our program.
A callback function is a function in your program that is called by the operating system.
You see, in our program we will never actually call the function WndProc().
Windows will do that when ever it sends a message to our program. more on that later.*/
{
   switch(message)
   {
      case WM_DESTROY:
         OnDestroy(hWnd);
         break;
      case WM_PAINT:
         OnPaint(hWnd);
         break;
      default:
         return DefWindowProc(hWnd,message,wParam,lParam);
   }
   return 0;

}
void OnDestroy(HWND hWnd)
{
   PostQuitMessage(0);
}

void OnPaint (HWND hWnd)
{
   HDC hdc;
   PAINTSTRUCT ps;
   HBRUSH hbr;
   HGDIOBJ holdbr;
   POINT pt[5]={250,150,250,300,300,350,400,300,320,190};
   
   hdc=BeginPaint(hWnd,&ps);

   hbr=CreateSolidBrush(RGB(25,0,0));
   holdbr=SelectObject(hdc,hbr);

   MoveToEx(hdc,10,10,NULL);
   LineTo(hdc,200,10);

   Rectangle(hdc,10,20,200,100);

   RoundRect(hdc,10,120,200,220,20,20);

   Ellipse(hdc, 10,240,200,340);

   Pie(hdc,250,10,350,110,350,110,350,10);

   Polygon(hdc,pt,5);

   SelectObject(hdc,holdbr);
   DeleteObject(hbr);


   EndPAint(hWnd, &ps);
}

and i am getting following errors:
C:\Documents and Settings\acer\My Documents\Pelles C Projects\new_try\nn.c(9): error #2001: Syntax error: expected ';' but found 'WinMain'.

Done.

Please help me out

[jj2007]

int WINAPI WinMain(...
InitInstance(HInstance

[czerny]

The compiler sees

Code Select Expand

int stdcall as definition of an int variable named stdcall and wants a closing ';'

Thanxs for the help but now i m getting other errors as mentioned below:

It looks as if you haven't made a windows but a console project.
If this doesn't help, make a zip from your project and post it as attachment.

[frankie]

The llinker missing symbol errors are telling you that you have not included system libraries in the link.

[jj2007]

warning #2018: Undeclared function 'EndPAint'; ...

   EndPAint(hWnd, &ps);

This is the second time that your compiler tells you to be more careful with your spelling. Are you sure you have a future in programming?

[neha kapila]

i have attached the zip file. Please help as i am a novice and no idea about how to make a windows project from the console one.

[czerny]

This is a console project, not a windows project.

[neha kapila]

then how can i make it a windows project?

[czerny]

then how can i make it a windows project?

File->New->Project->win32

[neha kapila]

win32 program (exe)
win32 dynamic library (DLL)
win32 static lib
which 1 out of these?

[czerny]

What do you want to write, a program or a library?

[neha kapila]

A program to draw shapes.

[czerny]

A program to draw shapes.

If you want to write a program, you should select win32 program (exe).
