Hey so my project is an Average Calculator to calculate the average of a set of numbers. Anyways, I must make it in a GUI and I have chosen Win32. My problem now resides while trying to do the following:
- When there is a paint request, to paint anything. (e.g text or change in display) there must be a handler that handles it outside of the main file.
Im totally new to classes and Win32 itself so sorry for my "nooby" mistakes. Anyways, Here is my code:
PaintHandler.cpp
#include <Windows.h>
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "PaintHandler.h"
class PaintHandler{
};
/**/
void PaintHandler::writeText(HWND hWnd, HDC hdc, int x, int y, char text) {
TextOut(hdc, x, y, (LPCWSTR) text,11);
}
PaintHandler.h
class PaintHandler{
public:
void writeText(HWND hWnd, HDC hdc, int x, int y, char text);
}
stdafx.h
// stdafx.h : include file for standard system include files,
// or project specific include files that are used frequently, but
// are changed infrequently
//
#pragma once
#include "targetver.h"
#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN // Exclude rarely-used stuff from Windows headers
// Windows Header Files:
#include <Windows.h>
#include <Windows.h>
#include <iostream>
// C RunTime Header Files
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <malloc.h>
#include <memory.h>
#include <tchar.h>
// TODO: reference additional headers your program requires here
#include "PaintHandler.h"
You can probably tell from above that im using Visual C++ (2010) and im trying to avoid the usage of .NET
So my problem is in the Paint Handler.cpp file which at line number 11.
void PaintHandler::writeText(HWND hWnd, HDC hdc, int x, int y, char text) {
I get the following error:
Error: class "Paint Handler" has no member "writeText".
I have no clue why it is saying that. Also, if my classes concept is incorrect please let me know. Any help is appreciated :)
Thanks
