You should perhaps include something ?

#include "stdafx.h"<br />
<br />
void main()<br />
{ <br />
   printf("Jamsa's C/C++/C# Programmer's Bible!\n");<br />
}

And make sure you have selected to create a win32 console application

You have selected a project in Visual Studio named 'Win32 Application'. The code you are writing is designed for a project called 'Win32 Console Application'. There is a crucial difference there. Windows applications all have an entry point called WinMain. Console applications (like all C/C++ console applications incl. Unix) have a starting function called Main.

The difference here comes from the design of the application. Windows applications link with a standard set of libraries, which already contain the Main function. All this function does, however, is to start a Windows thread and execute the WinMain function there. But, as the build error states: the linker cannot find the WinMain function from any of your code modules. This means that you're using a wrong project template, considering that you're writing standard C code.

So, in short, there's nothing wrong with your code. You're just using the wrong project type as template. Copy the code, and create a new project by using "Win32 Console Application" as the template. It can be found from 'New Project Wizard' that you use to create projects. Then paste the code in this project, use build and run. Should work without problems.

Two things...

You should add a "#" in front of the include statement

You should check the "Project type" if you are trying to create a "Win32 Application" you need a lot more code than what you have... Try and change it to a "Win32 Console Application" and you should be abe to compile the code (i did)

You can't show it in a text- or RTF-box, you'll have to automate Word.

There is a lot of information on MSDN on this, although spread on 1 000 000 articles, and with most samples in VB, so search MSDN for - for example - Word and automation - and be patient Smile | :)

CStatic Z-Order in dialog

So total noob question, I've hunted high and low for this but still nothing.

I have a Static control overlayed on top of a Group Box. I'm using the Static control as the title for the Group Box. The Static control is being displayed behing the Group Box. I need it to be on top.

Here's what I've tried in the CDialog::InitDialog()

/*c_TextSpecifics is my CStatic control*/
c_TextSpecifics.SetWindowPos(&wndTop, 0,0,0,0, SWP_NOSIZE|SWP_NOMOVE);

This has no affect. Anyone know how to get the CStatic control on top?

I assume that you did know one crucial fact: that you can give a caption to the group box by using the dialog editor, and that you can change the caption by using the following code fragment:

// Using the dialog editor, add a group box into the dialog template, and use the Properties sheet to change it's ID to IDC_MYGROUPBOX<DIV>

// First, we need to obtain a pointer to the object. As the group box is a general static control, the CWnd class can support it.
CWnd* pGroupBox = (CWnd*) GetDlgItem(IDC_MYGROUPBOX);
pGroupBox->SetWindowText("New group box caption");

This code fragment can be called from CDialog::InitDialog, and will do the job.

If you MUST use a static label control, then the answer here is to use the &wndTopMost parameter for SetWindowPos. However, this means that you must manually change the static control back to non-topmost window whenever it goes behind some other window (your window loses focus).

Alter the tab order of the controls within the dialog. The Z-Order of dialog controls is controlled by the tab order.
