[Dev-C++] invalid converion from

[EXT-Meyer, R. J <rob...@bo...>]

When compiling tutorial examples, I keep getting 'invalid conversion =
from' errors. What do they mean?

For example 'invalid conversion from 'void*' to 'CHAR*'

or 'invalid conversion from 'void*' to 'HFONT__*' occuring on this piece =
of code under WndProc:

		case WM_CREATE:
		{
			HFONT hfDefault;
			HWND hEdit;

			hEdit =3D CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE, "EDIT", "",=20
				WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_VSCROLL | WS_HSCROLL | ES_MULTILINE | =
ES_AUTOVSCROLL | ES_AUTOHSCROLL,=20
				0, 0, 100, 100, hwnd, (HMENU)IDC_MAIN_EDIT, GetModuleHandle(NULL), =
NULL);
			if(hEdit =3D=3D NULL)
				MessageBox(hwnd, "Could not create edit box.", "Error", MB_OK | =
MB_ICONERROR);

			hfDefault =3D GetStockObject(DEFAULT_GUI_FONT);
			SendMessage(hEdit, WM_SETFONT, (WPARAM)hfDefault, MAKELPARAM(FALSE, =
0));
		}
		break;

Thanks for any suggestions,

Rob
