So I'm building a directX game for my final project for my directx class and the other day I was trying to clean up my code a bit so I desided to write a wrapper class that handles creating my window and any other window api stuff for me so its not all in main.
so to be brief this is inside my class
private:
DWORD m_dwExstyle; ///<
LPCTSTR m_lpClassName; ///< Name of the window class
LPCTSTR m_lpWindowName; ///< Title of the window
DWORD m_dwstyle; ///< Window style
INT m_nX; ///< X-Position of the window
INT m_nY; ///< Y-Position of the window
INT m_nWidth; ///< Width of the Window
INT m_nHeight; ///< Height of the window
HWND m_hWndParent; ///< Do we have a parant window?, NULL
HMENU m_hMenu; ///< Are we useing menus?, NULL
HINSTANCE m_hInstance; ///< Application handle
LPVOID m_lpParam; ///< Used with multiple windows, NULL
public:
CCreateWindow( HINSTANCE hInstance )
{
m_dwExstyle = NULL;
m_lpClassName = L"Class1";
m_lpWindowName = L"Main Window";
m_dwstyle = WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW;
m_nX = 300;
m_nY = 300;
m_nWidth = 500;
m_nHeight = 400;
m_hMenu = NULL;
m_hInstance = hInstance;
m_lpParam = NULL;
}
And in my main I'm trying to create it like so:
CCreateWindow mainWindow( hInstance );
hWnd = mainWindow;
So the problem is I get a compile error:
1>c:\users\$$$\documents\visual studio 2008\projects\window\main.cpp(49) : error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'CCreateWindow' to 'HWND'
1> No user-defined-conversion operator available that can perform this conversion, or the operator cannot be called
So I'm guessing that I'm missing something any ideas?
