What option/property/preference do you change in MSVC++ to start with
Code:
int main()
, yet be able to use win32api's inside?





example:
Code:

#include "windows.h"

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main() {
   while (true) {
      HWND hWnd;
      hWnd = FindWindow(NULL,"MapleStory");

      PostMessage(hWnd,WM_CHAR,0x41,1);

      Sleep(1);
   }
}

yes, you can use the Win32 API in console programs.

Can you use int main() in win32 apps is what I'm asking i guess

like....
Win32 Project:
Code:
#include <windows.h>
int main()
{
MessageBox(NULL, "Goodbye, cruel world!", "Note", MB_OK);
return 0;
}

In a Win32 application you use WinMain().

Obviously, what else did you plan on doing?

and you are getting mixed up. That's just a console application, and yes you can use the API in it.
