Need help linking OFWIN

[trose178]

Help im a newb and dont know how to do much C++ but im learning. I need help compiling OFWIN using Listing OFWIN1 and OFWIN2 for a simple windows program. heres my code:

// OFWIN.CPP Native windows program to display text in a window
#include <windows.h>

long CALLBACK WindowProc(HWND hWnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam,
LPARAM lParam);

// Listing OFWIN_1
int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
WNDCLASS WindowClass; // Structure to hold windows attributes

static char szAppName[] = &quot;OFWIN&quot;; // Define window class name
HWND hWnd; // Window Handle
MSG msg; // Windows message structure

// Redraw the window if the size changes
WindowClass.style = CS_HREDRAW | CS_VREDRAW;

// Define our procedure for message handling
WindowClass.lpfnWndProc = WindowProc;

WindowClass.cbClsExtra = 0; // No extra bytes after window class
WindowClass.cbWndExtra = 0; // structure or the window instance

WindowClass.hInstance = hInstance; // Application instance handle

// Set default application icon
WindowClass.hIcon = LoadIcon(0, IDI_APPLICATION);

// Set window cursor to be the standar arrow
WindowClass.hCursor = LoadCursor(0, IDC_ARROW);

// Set gray brush for background color
WindowClass.hbrBackground = static_cast<HBRUSH>(GetStockObject(GRAY_BRUSH));

WindowClass.lpszMenuName = 0; // No menu, so no resource name

WindowClass.lpszClassName = szAppName; // Set class name

// Now register our window class
RegisterClass(&WindowClass);

// Now we can create the window
hWnd = CreateWindow(
szAppName, // Window class name
&quot;A Basic Window the Hard Way&quot;, // Window Title
WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, // Window style as overlapped
CW_USEDEFAULT, // Default screen position of upper left
CW_USEDEFAULT, // corner of our window as x,y....
CW_USEDEFAULT, // Default Window size
CW_USEDEFAULT, // ...
0, // No parent window
0, // No menu
hInstance, // Program Instance handle
0 // No window creation data
);

ShowWindow(hWnd, nCmdShow); // Display the window
UpdateWindow(hWnd); // Cause window client area to be drawn

// The message loop
while(GetMessage(&msg, 0, 0, 0) == TRUE) // Get any messages
{
TranslateMessage(&msg); // Translate the message
DispatchMessage(&msg); // Dispatch the message
}

return msg.wParam; // End, so return to windows
}


// Listing OFWIN_2
long CALLBACK WindowProc(HWND hWnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam,
LPARAM lParam)
{
HDC hDC; // Display context handle
PAINTSTRUCT PaintSt; // Structure efining area to be drawn
RECT aRect; // A working rectangle

switch(message) // Process selected messages
{
case WM_PAINT: // Message is to redraw this window
hDC = BeginPaint(hWnd, &PaintSt); // Prepare to draw the window

// Get upper left and lower right of client area
GetClientRect(hWnd, &aRect);

SetBkMode(hDC, TRANSPARENT); // Set test background mode

// Now draw the text in the window client area
DrawText(
hDC, // Device context handle
&quot;But, soft! What light through yonder window breaks?&quot;,
-1, // Indicate null terminated string
&aRect, // Rectangle in which text is to be drawn
DT_SINGLELINE| // Text format - single line
DT_CENTER| // - centered in the line
DT_VCENTER); // - line centered in aRect

EndPaint(hWnd, &PaintSt); // Terminate window redraw operation
return 0;
}
return 0;
}

I added the last return 0; because for some reason it said there was on end of file so i just tried improvising with that but maybe thats why it didn't work.

Heres the error I get:

Linking...
LINK : fatal error LNK1168: cannot open Debug/OFWIN2.exe for writing
Error executing link.exe.

Thanks in advance for all of your help.
