Title: VS2008: Tutorial Opening a window
Post by: FuggleNutz on August 03, 2009, 10:03:47 am

Hi,

I've worked through the first few basic tutorials on random numbers etc. These work fine, but I am having trouble with the opening a window tutorial, it's always either an stdafx.h problem, of which I have disabled pre compiled headers. Then if I do this I get about 10 or so errors, most of it not understandable. It is probably just me choosing the wrong project type. If anyone knows anything about it, it would be helpful, or a link to someone who had the same problem.

Cheers

When you create your project using the wizard, uncheck "precompiled headers" and check "empty project".
