Help with DnsQuery

[khilscher]

I am a C++ newbie. I am writing a MFC dialog app that does a DnsQuery lookup on a FQDN. I'm just starting out by hardcoding the FQDN and such into the DnsQuery function, but I can't even get that to work. Here's what I have so far.

void CDDNSTestAppDlg::OnBtnQuery()
{

CString sFQDN;
WORD wType;
DWORD dwOptions;

sFQDN = "

http://www.cnn.com";

wType = 1;
dwOptions = DNS_QUERY_STANDARD;


DNS_STATUS WINAPI DnsQuery_A (sFQDN,
wType,
dwOptions,
NULL
);
}

I'm getting compiler errors such as "anachronism used" or "too many initializers"

Can someone help?

First, it should be so:
void CDDNSTestAppDlg::OnBtnQuery()
{

CString sFQDN;
WORD wType;
DWORD dwOptions;

sFQDN = "

http://www.cnn.com";

wType = 1;
dwOptions = DNS_QUERY_STANDARD;

//this is not a function definition!
DNS_STATUS mydns= DnsQuery_A (sFQDN,
wType,
dwOptions,
NULL
);
}
