Making a Win32
Hey I'm making a trivia game following the Win32 code from here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb384843.aspx
I took that code and added what I think I needed to do for my program (took a class on this years ago, I looked at some of my programs from that), but the only thing that registers in the output is the first line that I replaced "Hello world" with. Here is what I have:
// GT_HelloWorldWin32.cpp
// compile with: /D_UNICODE /DUNICODE /DWIN32 /D_WINDOWS /c
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <tchar.h>
#include <iostream>
#define CLS std::cin.ignore (std::cin.rdbuf()->in_avail())
// Global variables
// The main window class name.
static TCHAR szWindowClass[] = _T("win32app");
// The string that appears in the application's title bar.
static TCHAR szTitle[] = _T("Win32 Guided Tour Application");
HINSTANCE hInst;
// Forward declarations of functions included in this code module:
LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND, UINT, WPARAM, LPARAM);
int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,
HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,

WNDCLASSEX wcex;
wcex.cbSize = sizeof(WNDCLASSEX);
wcex.style = CS_HREDRAW | CS_VREDRAW;

wcex.cbWndExtra = 0;
wcex.hInstance = hInstance;
wcex.hIcon = LoadIcon(hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_APPLICATION));
wcex.hCursor = LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW);
wcex.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH)(COLOR_WINDOW+1);
wcex.lpszMenuName = NULL;
wcex.lpszClassName = szWindowClass;
wcex.hIconSm = LoadIcon(wcex.hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_APPLICATION));
if (!RegisterClassEx(&wcex))
{
MessageBox(NULL,
_T("Call to RegisterClassEx failed!"),
_T("Win32 Guided Tour"),
NULL);
return 1;
}
hInst = hInstance; // Store instance handle in our global variable
// The parameters to CreateWindow explained:

// CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT: initial position (x, y)
// 500, 100: initial size (width, length)

// The parameters to ShowWindow explained:

// Main message loop:

while (GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0))
{
TranslateMessage(&msg);

}
return (int) msg.wParam;
}
//

Code tags would have been nice... It is the <> button in Format when you are making a post.
As far as the code goes... I'll take a look at it... though it looks like it has many problems on first glance.
Edit: Is this a GUI app or a console app? or both?

You seem to be mixing the standard console I/O with the Windows I/O functions? Try TextOut instead of cout
Yeah GUI, the linker is set to Windows not console.
Not getting what to do with TextOut. How would I write:
std::cout<<"To answer, type the letter in lower case and press enter.";
in TextOut?

There's a TextOut code in your source above which displays the text pointed to by the
greeting variable. Look up for the function TextOut on MSDN. Play with its 2nd up to the last parameters. They control the location (x,y coordinates) of the text, and the text to display.
OK I think I'm starting to get the hang of this. Now, does every line of text need to be a TCHAR variable? Is the method of input TextIn? And will the if statements work as they are?
With regard to TCHAR, please see
The if statement will work as is.
For further Windows I/O functions/programming, please check out the MSDN documentation.
