If you're going to program Windows, then Charles Petzold's book, Programming Windows, 5th edition is THE Bible. I doubt there is a skilled Windows programmer anywhere in the world who has not read Petzold.
Hey guys, I got rid of most of the errors with one line.
#undef UNICODE
It really works! :D
Anyway, I still have the constant error, but I think I know what's causing that. I'm suspecting VC++ isn't using the right compiler on it, so I'm gonna go into the file's properties and such.
