Newbie to windows programming doesn't understand error

[FinalBirdman]

I have a simple windows program that "should" have a standard window with a nice menu. I should be able to click on Help->about and see a nice little box. In order for this to work perfectly (a quick fix adds a small bug in which the about box doesn't dissapear after you click OK) I need to pass a windows procedure pointer to a function.

The proc has the form int FAR PASCAL myproc(unsigned int,unsigned int,unsigned int,long).

When I compile, I get the error "int (FAR PASCAL*)(unsigned int,unsigned int,unsigned int,long) cannot be converted to type int(FAR PASCAL*)()"

I belive that int(FAR PASCAL*)() means that the procedure being passed can have any parameters, so myproc should be fine. But it isn't.

I'm using Borland C++ 3.1. Any help is appreciated.

Well, I figured it out. I had to cast the function into a int (PASCAL far*)() like this:

ptr=(int(PASCAL far*)())myproc;

Just figured I'd let you know how it is done.
