Re: [Dev-C++] Query

[Fernando L. <fer...@gm...>]

Argument 11 (h) should be of type HINSTANCE and it is declared as
HWND, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms632679(VS.85).aspx.

There is a good tutorial at http://winprog.org/tutorial/, or get
Programming Windows by Charles Petzold.

Best regards,

Fernando
