Well I just got the book "tricks of the windows game programming gurus" i just pretty much made the program with the message box appears. But 2 errors come up. They say unresolved external symbol _main 1 unresolved externals

      
#include <windows.h>

#include <windowsx.h>


int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hinstance,HINSTANCE hprevinstance,
                   LPSTR lpcmdline,int ncmdshow)

{


//message box

MessageBox(NULL,"HELLO","MESSAGE BOX", MB_OK | MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);

//exit program

 return 0;
}

This is the code by the way. I hope you can help. I dont want all my programs to have these errors. Edited by - Nothingness on September 26, 2001 8:59:07 PM Edited by - Nothingness on September 26, 2001 8:59:22 PM
