Hi Nguyen How r you? Well you want to code a win32 app. I remember how difficult it was in the beginning to understand everything win32 offers. it was way back to 1 year that i started out my win32 journey with a simple tutorial at http://www.softlookup.com/tutorial/vc++/vcu08fi.asp[^] well here is a prototype of winmain int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE d1, HINSTANCE d2, LPSTR d3, int d4) { code..... return 0; }
