You never actually created an object called Window, you just wrote sf::RenderWindow( instead of sf::RenderWindow Window(.

Function case for SFML is camelCase, not PascalCase, where have you got this code from, seeing as it isn't from the tutorials (http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.3/start-vc.php )?

This example code looks like it might be from SFML 1.
Things changed from version 1 to version 2.

** Official SFML v2.3 tutorials ** (http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.3/)

Yes (http://www.sfml-dev.org/download/sfml/2.3.2/)
As you can see, there is a download for Visual C++ 10.
I'm not sure which MinGW is applicable to Code::Blocks 10.
