Unposible first program in windows enviorment and its not working
Can anyone tell me whats wrong?
Im using dev c++ g++ compiler?
code is below :

#include <windows.h>
int WINAPI WinMain (HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR IpCmdLine, int iCmdShow)
{
    MessageBox (NULL, "Hello windows!", "Wellcome message", MB_OK|MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);

You should make a win32 project, and btw; what error are you getting?

Well, Dev-C++ asks you when you create a project whether you want a consoile mode project or a GUI project. You need to choose GUI project (or whatever the other selection is besides console project - I forget).

If by some chance you are bypassing the project setup step and just pasting in code into a blank file without setting up a project at all, then it might default to creating a console project. In that case yoyu would get both a message box and a console.
