Hi, beginner to directX following a tutorial to set up a simple window. nothing fancy just the window.
Two errors.
error C2065: 'wndHandle' : undeclared identifier
error C2065: 'WndProc' : undeclared identifierThese errors are present in
InitWindow.cpp
Heres my code
WinMain
/******************************************************************
* This is the main entry point for the Windows Application. *
* Its used to initialize the application, create the application *
* window and start the message loop. *
******************************************************************/
#include <windows.h>
#include <tchar.h>
//Globals
HINSTANCE hInst; // global handle to hold the application instance
HWND wndHandle; // global variable to hold the window handle
int width = 640;
int height = 480;
//forward declarations
bool InitWindow( HINSTANCE hInstance, int width, int height );
LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc( HWND, UINT, WPARAM, LPARAM );
//winmain, main entry point for windows apps
int APIENTRY_tWinMain( HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPTSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow )
{
//intialize window
if( !InitWindow( hInstance, width, height) )
{
return false;
}
MSG msg = {0};
while (WM_QUIT != msg.message)
{
while (PeekMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE) == TRUE)
{
TranslateMessage(&msg);
DispatchMessage(&msg);
}
//additional game logic can be called from here
}
return (int) msg.wParam;
}InitWindow

//Display the window on the screen
ShowWindow(wndHandle, SW_SHOW);
UpdateWindow(wndHandle);
return true;
}
WndProc
#include <windows.h>
#include <tchar.h>
LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hWnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
//check available messages from the queue
switch (message)
{
//Allow the user to press the Escape key to end the application
case WM_KEYDOWN:
switch(wParam)
{
//check if the user hit the escape key
case VK_ESCAPE:
PostQuitMessage(0);
break;
}
break;
//The user hit the close button, close the application
case WM_DESTROY:
PostQuitMessage(0);
break;
}
//Always return the message to the default window procedure for further
//processing
return DefWindowProc(hWnd, message, wParam, lParam);
}I have tried changing the character set from Unicode to Multi-byte character set but I still get the same two errors.
Would appreciate any help with this problem
