try creating a new blank Win32 project and add your existing file to that and then try again.

now it works, thanx

wndclass.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH)GetStockObject(BLACK_BRUSH);

In fact, I don't see how the other code even works. BLACK_BRUSH is an integer, and doesn't need to be cast, since GetStockObject takes an integer as its only parameter . The fact that GetStockObject returns fonts, brushs, pens, etc. is the reason why it has to be cast.

- Splat

wndclass.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH)GetStockObject(BLACK_BRUSH);

is the only thing that works, but why does every piece of code that I look at write:

wndclass.hbrBackground = GetStockObject(BLACK_BRUSH);

???

------------------
Dance with me......

wndclass.hbrBackground = GetStockObject(BLACK_BRUSH);

The error:

error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'void *' to 'struct HBRUSH__ *'
Conversion from 'void*' to pointer to non-'void' requires an explicit cast

please help me solve this problem!
