[Dev-C++] implicit conversion error from "void"

[ropbert d b. <lon...@ju...>]

Can anyone help with this compile error. I am trying to convert a
MSVisual program and I am getting this error from this code:

void WinClass::SetResIcons (int resId)
{
    _class.hIcon = reinterpret_cast <HICON> (
        ::LoadImage (
            _class.hInstance, 
            MAKEINTRESOURCE (resId), 
            IMAGE_ICON, 
            ::GetSystemMetrics (SM_CXICON),
            ::GetSystemMetrics (SM_CYICON),
             0));                                                        
                 // this is line 76
    // Small icon can be loaded from the same resource
    _class.hIconSm = reinterpret_cast<HICON> (
        ::LoadImage (
            _class.hInstance, 
            MAKEINTRESOURCE (resId), 
            IMAGE_ICON, 
            ::GetSystemMetrics (SM_CXSMICON),
            ::GetSystemMetrics (SM_CYSMICON),
            0));
}

76 winmaker.cpp
 ANSI C++ forbids implicit conversion from `void *' in argument passing

This looks a lot like code from the Relisoft tutorial. I remember this bug,
but I don't think I ever fixed it. If you are trying to load an icon for
your program I suggest you get/make an '.ico' file and then link it into the
resource file:
ICONNAME ICON "drive:/iconpath/*.ico"
Then do wincl.hIcon = LoadIcon(HINST,ICONNAME);
And the same with the small icon.
I also think you should ask the Relisoft people about the code.
