Intermediate Lesson 1 Error [ SOLVED]

[DcoltGaming]

Hi guys,

I have once again run into some more errors, this time with windows.h. I can't seem to work out what is causing the issues to load. I have checked all the lines that were changed when the class was added, but I can't seem to fix it.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

Try removing the long-char prefix from the strings in windows.cpp, that means taking away the "L" from L"Chili Direc..." at the two places intellisense puts a red line under them

BTW, are you using VS2013 by any chance? I get some errors from the Timer constructor that may be caused by a VS bug

Think he may be using 2014, cant even open with vs13.

Hi Cameron, No I am using 2015

Thanks Chexxor, that fixed it

Awesome! I didn't have too much faith in my own solution tbh...

Hmmm, why did you think to remove the long-char prefix from the strings in windows.cpp Chexxor?

I think it was partly due to intellisense, but I also made a google search for the error I got and it seemed like the right thing to do at the moment, I can't recall more specifics about what I was thinking other than the error being about some c-type casting.

Proj properties probably were changed from unicode to multibyte. And ah 2015, any new features from 13?
