can someone explain this code for me:


WNDCLASSEXW wc = {0};
 
 
wc.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH) COLOR_WINDOW ;
wc.hCursor = LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW);
wc.hInstance = hInst;
wc.lpszClassName = L"myWindowClass";
wc.lpfnWndProc = WindowProcedure;

if there is, can tell me what the window variable name is

That looks like code for initializing a WinAPI window class

#

What part don't you understand?

wise field
#

each line

#

well, i get the idea that hbrBackground is the window colour

#

and hCursor changes cursor colour ?

All of this you can find in the documentation of WNDCLASSEX.

wise field
#

so you can't explain it yourself?

granite cypress
#

It would be duplicated effort to.

wise field
#

so, what's the point of this part of the discord?

granite cypress
#

To give enough information to solve the problem.

wise field
#

ok

# 

    wc1.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH) COLOR_WINDOW ; //set window background colour
    wc1.hCursor = LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW); //set cursor type

is these comments right?

granite cypress
#

Kind of, but the actual explanations are in the Members section of that page.

wise field
# 

wc1.hInstance = hInst; //A handle to the instance that contains the window procedure for the class.

this is what I got from that page

granite cypress
#

Yes, then?

wise field
#

i wes wondering if that was the right way to see that code

granite cypress
#

Sure.

wise field
#

ah ok thanks

@wise field Has your question been resolved? If so, type !solved :)

wise field
# 

wc1.lpszClassName = L"myWindowClass1"; //window class name

naming the window?

dense arch
#

The window title is not the window class name

wise field
#

ohh, so, naming the window title?

dense arch
#

The window class describes how a window looks and functions

#

When you create a window, you pass in the window class name

wise field
#

ill check it now

#

is that in C?

dense arch
#

WinAPI works in both C and C++

wise field
#

i see

#

that actually explains better than the youtube video i copied from

#

the guy in the video was just like, "do this", but didn't explain the code

dense arch
#

For Microsoft stuff, you really have to read the docs
