I cant create a Window using WinMain.It doesnt give any errors,it just doesnt work.I even tried to copy Source code in tutorials but it didnt work.I am using :
MinGW32 ,Eclipse CDT Version: 8.1.2.201302132326
The code:
#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
#include<iostream>
#include<Windows.h>
//Forward declarations
bool InitMainWindow(HINSTANCE,int);
LRESULT CALLBACK MsgProc(HWND,UINT,WPARAM,LPARAM);
//Constants
const int width=800;
const int height=600;
HWND hwnd =NULL;
int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,LPSTR lpCmdLine,int nCmdShow)
{
//initialize window
if(!InitMainWindow(hInstance,nCmdShow))
return 1;
//Main message loop
MSG msg ={0};
while(WM_QUIT != msg.message){
if(PeekMessage(&msg,NULL,0,0,PM_REMOVE))
{
TranslateMessage(&msg);
DispatchMessage(&msg);
}
}
return static_cast<int>(msg.wParam);
}
bool InitMainWindow(HINSTANCE hInstance, int nCmdShow)
{
//Create class window
WNDCLASSEX wcex;
WNDCLASS wc;
wcex.cbSize=sizeof(wcex);
wcex.style=CS_HREDRAW | CS_VREDRAW;
wcex.cbClsExtra=0;
wcex.cbWndExtra=0;
wcex.lpfnWndProc=MsgProc;
wcex.hInstance=hInstance;
wcex.hIcon=LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_APPLICATION);
wcex.hCursor=LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW);
wcex.hbrBackground=(HBRUSH)GetStockObject(NULL_BRUSH);
wcex.lpszClassName="LearningWinMain";
wcex.lpszMenuName=NULL;
wcex.hIconSm=LoadIcon(NULL,IDI_WINLOGO);
//Register window class
if(!RegisterClassEx(&wcex))
return false;
hwnd =CreateWindow(
"TutorialClassName" ,
"Tutorial Window",
WS_OVERLAPPED|WS_SYSMENU|WS_CAPTION,
GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN)/2 -width/2,
GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN)/2 -height/2,
width,
height,
(HWND)NULL,
(HMENU)NULL,
hInstance,
(LPVOID*)NULL);
if(!hwnd)
return false;
ShowWindow(hwnd,nCmdShow);
return true;
}
LRESULT CALLBACK MsgProc(HWND hwnd,UINT msg,WPARAM wParam,LPARAM lParam)
{
switch(msg)
{
case WM_DESTROY:
PostQuitMessage(0);
return 0;
case WM_CHAR:
switch(wParam)
{
case VK_ESCAPE:
PostQuitMessage(0);
return 0;
}
return 0;
}
return DefWindowProc(hwnd,msg,wParam,lParam);
}
