C++ Windows programming: Can't make this program run?

I'm just starting C++ windows programming and I copied this right out of my book (with a couple of adjustments since i needed to refer to different pathways).


This program compiles, but it does not run. When I try to open the icon that ws produced nothing happens. What is wrong with it?


Here's the program





Window.cpp


#include "window.h"





LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hWindow, UINT msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam);





int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,


PSTR szCmdLine, int iCmdShow)


{


static TCHAR szAppName[] = TEXT("Skeleton");


WNDCLASSEX wndclass;


HWND hWindow;


MSG msg;








wndclass.cbSize = sizeof(wndclass);


wndclass.style = CS_HREDRAW | CS_VREDRAW;


wndclass.lpfnWndProc = WndProc;


wndclass.cbClsExtra = 0;


wndclass.cbWndExtra = 0;


wndclass.hInstance = hInstance;


wndclass.hIcon = LoadIcon(hInstance,


MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_WINDOW));

RegisterClassEx() fails and bails out.


RegisterClassEx() fails because not all fields of wndclass are initialized - some contain garbage. It's a typical mistake that programmers make.





Change declaration of wndclass to this:





WNDCLASSEX wndclass = { sizeof(WNDCLASSEX) };
Reply:this itself is not a program, its a class, it will help you when you write a program and you can call the functions within this file.
