I am trying to get a WndProc Mapping solution to work so that I can avoid just making my WndProc static. In addition, a mapping solution is supposed to be great because I don't need to declare variables in my .cpp file, I can do it in my .h file like it should be.

However, this is exactly my problem: if you uncomment lines 3 and 4 of GameManager.cpp and you comment lines 24 and 25 of GameManager.h, the program runs just fine. But, I need it to be the other way around! Instead what happens is the window opens and closes abruptly. Any insight would be greatly appreciated:

*Edit: sorry if the post is too long, I'm new to these forums. If it's too long just let me know and I'll cut out things I *think* are not causing this issue. However, a big reason I left it is so someone can compile it (it should compile and run straight out of the box!).

main.cpp:

#include "GameManager.h"	// Include our GameManager and let it handle everything.
#include <windows.h>
int WINAPI WinMain(	HINSTANCE	hInstance,			// Instance
					HINSTANCE	hPrevInstance,		// Previous Instance
					LPSTR		lpCmdLine,			// Command Line Parameters
					int			nCmdShow)			// Window Show State
{
	GameManager gameManager;
	GameManager *gm = &gameManager;
	return gm->run();
}

Looking for something unrelated and found your unresolved issue. Replying in case someone else bumps into it, or you still have the issue from many months ago. Essentially, the problem is where you are declaring your variables.
In the GameManager.h, you are declaring them inside of the private member of the class GameManager.
In the GameManager.cpp you are declaring them outside of the GameManager class in a Global scope.

In order to fix you problem, you must consider how you want these variables implemented. Should they be inside of the class, or should they be Global variables as you have them now?

If you are planning to continue using them as globals, declare them on line 11 in your GameManager.h

include <windows.h> // Header File For Windows
include <gl\gl.h> // Header File For The OpenGL32 Library
include <gl\glu.h> // Header File For The GLu32 Library
include <gl\glaux.h> // Header File For The Glaux Library

bool keys[256]; // Array Used For The Keyboard Routine
bool active; // Window Active Flag Set To TRUE By Default
 
class GameManager
{

However, this is not the proper solution. What you really need to do, is to create 'helper' functions inside of your GameManager private class, then use your GameManager handle to call the helper function, to change/retrieve the variables whenever you need them. ie:

//in your .h
private:
void switch_active();
bool get_active();
void flip_key(int index);
bool get_key(int index);
//in your .cpp
 void GameManager::switch_active(){ //Change the private
  active = !active;
}

 bool GameManager::get_active(){
  return active;
}
void GameManager::flip_key(int index){
 key[index] = !key[index];
}
bool GameManager::get_key(int index){
 return key[index];
}

bool temp_key = get_key(25);

As for a long post, yes, way to long. Only need the class GameManager in your .h and the place where you are declaring it in your .cpp and where you are using it in your code. No fun when the scroll button is 3/8's of an inch
