winclass.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH)GetStockObject(DKGRAY_BRUSH);
GetStockObject just returns a void pointer to some memory, and you need to tell the compiler to cast it into the HBRUSH class for the background of your window

I've converted an old game project from MSVC 5.0 to 6.0....when i try to compile the whole thing i get an error on this line of code:
winclass.hbrBackground = GetStockObject(DKGRAY_BRUSH);
the error is:
cannot convert from 'void *' to 'struct HBRUSH__ *'
what is the problem???
Thanks in advance.
Misuse of the reinterpret_cast operator can easily be unsafe. (and not as easy to read) Unless the desired conversion is inherently low-level, you should use one of the other cast operators.
