Hi, I have got a problem with compiling code from book by Clayton Walnum about Direct3D. It shows me two errors. Its just basic application. I am compiling it in Visual C++ 2008 as Win32 Project. Firs error is in function RegisterWindowClass(HINSTANCE hInstance). Error 1: error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'const char [7]' to 'LPCWSTR' Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast Second error is in function CreateAppWindow(HINSTANCE hInstance). Error 2: error C2664: 'CreateWindowExW' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'const char [7]' to 'LPCWSTR' Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast This Code is from book:
