Win32 run problems
Author
Hey, i''m new to win api programming so i picked up a book and I am trying to make a wrapper class that will register/create/handle messages for the window... So far everything I''ve done is right according to the book and the lack of compile errors(the book had a wrapper example) yet the program starts and I see a window flash for a milisecond and it goes away.... I''m using VC++ 6.0, and under debug it gives these problems
Loaded ''ntdll.dll'', no matching symbolic information found.

Loaded ''D:\WINDOWS\system32\advapi32.dll'', no matching symbolic information found.
Loaded ''D:\WINDOWS\system32\rpcrt4.dll'', no matching symbolic information found.
The thread 0x3BC has exited with code 0 (0x0).
anyone know?
Those aren''t errors. Please post your code.

But what we need to know:
What is the error? The debug output does not contain ANY error messages, so where is the problem?

Your error lies in the gamebase.cpp module
switch (msg)
{
3 case WM_CREATE:
4 case WM_DESTROY:
5 PostQuitMessage(0);
break;
case WM_CLOSE:
DestroyWindow(m_hwnd);
break;
}
According to line 3 4 and 5, when your window is created, the
message handler will receive a WM_CREATE message. The effect
in your switch is that it will call the PostQuitMessage
pocedure that will close your window and finish the application.
You should remove the WM_CREATE part !
switch(msg)
{
case WM_DESTROY:
PostQuitMessage(0);
return 0;
Hope it helps !

Looks like Dark Pixel found the answer.
Arkantis, those aren''t errors, they just mean that you won''t be able to debug into those files because they are standard windows files (built as ''release'' versions so that they don''t contain any debugging info or "symbolic information" as the messages put it)

BTW, that message loop is horrible. Use the example on WinProg.net, there is no need to use PeekMessage() in a basic message loop.
The point DarkPixel is trying to make is that the cases in your switch statement are falling through. Put a break in for the WM_CREATE case and it''ll be fine.
