windows application

I'm reading a tutorial on creating Windows applications
http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/start.html
It doesn't give any compiler specific insructions on how to compile this example, only that is should be compiled as a c file.

Code:

#include <windows.h>



int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, 

    LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)

{

    MessageBox(NULL, "Goodbye! cruel World", "Note", MB_OK);

    return 0;

}

I compiled the code in Visual Studio C++ and when I ran the program, I got this:

How could I compile the code in Visual Studio C++ to get the proper text in the code displayed?

Re: windows application

Worked for me. Maybe you have some locale issues.

Re: windows application

Thanks DaWei.

I have tried using the gcc compiler from command prompt and it worked, except a console of window appears along with that window at the same time when the program is executed.

Re: windows application

There's a command line option to prevent the console window from showing. Don't know which gcc you're using (what invokes it, if other than you), so can't comment further.

Re: windows application

Yes, there is.

If anyone reading is interested you need to add this to the compile command:

-Wl,-subsystem,windows

Regards.
