Hey all, I use this to draw a line: // get the dc first HDC hdc = GetDC(hwnd); // create the green pen HPEN green_pen = CreatePen(PS_SOLID, 1, RGB(0,255,0)); // used to store old pen HPEN old_pen = NULL; // select the pen into the context old_pen = SelectObject(hdc, green_pen); // draw the line MoveToEx(hdc, 10,10, NULL); LineTo(hdc,50,60); // restore old pen SelectObject(hdc, old_pen); // delete the green pen DeleteObject(green_pen); // release the dc ReleaseDC(hwnd, hdc); But when i try to compile he writes: error C2440: ''='' : cannot convert from ''void *'' to ''struct HPEN__ *'' Conversion from ''void*'' to pointer to non-''void'' requires an explicit cast How can i fix it? Thanks in advance

I think the problem is the

HPEN green_pen = CreatePen(PS_SOLID, 1, RGB(0,255,0)); 

line.

Try something like:

HPEN green_pen = (HPEN)CreatePen(PS_SOLID, 1, RGB(0,255,0)); 

"For crying out loud, she has fishes coming out of her head on either side. How can you find this hot?!"
"If anyone sees a suspicious, camouflaged factory being carried across the desert, they should report it immediately."

Sorry guys but it didn''t work it still displays the same problem!

This looks like code from Tricks of the Windows Game Programming Gurus, and if so, here''s what I used to fix it:

old_pen = (HPEN) SelectObject(hdc,green_pen); 

Hope that helps,
