MsgHandler: undeclared identifier
Author
Hi all,
I''m following the "Game Programming Genesis Part I : Beginning Windows Programming" tutorial by Joseph Farrell on this site. I''ve gotten the basics of the code written up and am copiling to clean out any errors I made. I am now getting a
C:\Documents and Settings\JS\Desktop\Scripts\C\Win\win.cpp(21) : error C2065: ''MsgHandler'' : undeclared identifier
error when compiling. Here is the code I have so far.
Anyone know what might cause this. As you can probably guess I am new to Windows programming (why else would I be going through the tutorial) so I might be missing something obvious.
Any help is much appreciated.

Not sure why the formatting got screwy on the define/includes but they aren''t run together like that.
Yeah, you're missing the actual definition of your window procedure -- MsgHandler. You need the message handler function to register your window class.

You need a function named MsgHandler. Look up WndProc in the MSDN library. What you do when you write lpfnWndProc = MsgHandler is that you tell Windows that you want the MsgHandler function to be called whenever something happens to your window.

Thanks for the responses guys. I was under the impression that the msghandler function was included in one of the windows header files. If I had just been patient I would have noticed that the tutorial covered this a page or two later. I''ll also check out the WndProc documetation. Thanks again.
