FW: [Dev-C++] linker error

[Schedler, K. <Kur...@hi...>]

Nevermind, I found the answer by searching with Google.

You just have to add "-lgdi32" to the linker options box on the Project
Options dialog.

I seem to be getting this error a lot when compiling example programs I find
on the web:

c:\my documents\src\cpp\simple\main.o(.text+0x162):main.cpp: undefined
reference to `GetStockObject@4'

Anyone have an idea what is wrong?  This is the offending line of code:

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

And one other thing I wanted to ask about...  when using the menu "wizard"
in the resource editor, I added a "File" item and an "Exit" subitem under
that.  But when the app added the lines of code to my resource file, I ended
up with "File", "File->Exit", and then an "Exit" on the main menu bar as
well.

Oops, one more thing (I promise this will be the last in this message!),
when using Edit->Insert to add an if, while, or for loop template, the curly
braces don't tab over to align with the code above.  Have I not set up
something properly, or am I asking for a new feature?

Thanks,

krs.
