Not related to C. Try a windows programming newsgroup.

You have to register a class of windows, then call
the CreateWindow procedure.

If you use lcc-win you get all the code generated
for you by the wizard when creating a project.

You can see how that works if you read the tutorial
that is distributed with lcc-win.

There's a lot more to it than that, as you ought to know.

If you use lcc-win

More self-serving spam, I see - even though he already told you he's using
mingw. And you know perfectly well (or ought to) that he'll get better
answers in a Windows group.

The fact that you thanked him makes me suspect that you believed him.

I'm fairly sure there's no such thing as "NoWinMain"; pete was pulling
your leg. (Humor doesn't always survive transmission across a

If you hadn't foolishly changed the subject of your thread you
would have seen other, more accurate, answers, and would possibly
know that Petes answer is pure nonsense.

That's not arguing - it's just contradicting.

I do not respect you at all then.
Why should I?

Do you really miss the difference between (not) respecting a _person_ and
doing the same on a 'bona fide attempt', i.e. a message, here?

Because topicality enforcement is tedious
and it's wrong for me to reap the benefit
without participating.

Or, in the words of someone who has no respect for me:

I agree. And I can see a simple solution for you...

He's 100% right. This isn't comp.lang.isoc.moderated - it's up to each
person to decide what they post, and whether they agree that "C" and
"the ISO C standard" should be considered synonymous.

I think you should write whatever you want, whatever you think is
appropriate. I did no more than observe that if you find topicality
enforcement tedious, then a way of avoiding tedium is not to (try to)
enforce topicality.

This group only discusses a C language which has an unspecified input (eg
papertape reader) and an unspecified output (eg a teletype).

So even discussion of keyboards and screens is off-topic!

So a win32 group is best although you may find that your compiler, and the C
language, are off-topic there...

To get started, you need a minimalist program in C that just creates a
window. Try looking for "hellowin.c" or anything by Petzold.

If compiling with gcc, try using the -mwindows switch if there are problems
(this is one of those things you need to pick up from anywhere other than
the gcc help files, which are totally useless for or a beginner).

If using dev-cpp as you mentioned elsewhere, all you need to do is a choose
a new 'Windows Application' project! This will give you exactly what you
need (it didn't work when I tried it, but I'm not an IDE expert; if you have
the same problem, extract the code they give you into a separate file and
compile that).
