So I'm following theForger's Win32 API Tutorial, right? I went through the first section of it pretty alright using my good friends NotepadPP and MinGW w/ the GCC compiler.

I wanted to try my hand at using Visual CPP 2005 Express (reason why below.) I try compiling this program right here and I get error C2059s and others up the wazoo! I mean, I got a little further using this advice, but I gave up trying to figure it all out.

I dunno. For now on, I think I wanna stick with MinGW. I always liked writing up my code manually (in fact I never liked IDEs,) and it doesn't complain. Actually, the only reason I wanted to use Visual Studio in the first place is that I wanted to use a Vista COM object that MinGW's w32api doesn't support yet. :)

That's all. I'm not asking for help, really (though I wouldn't mind any!)

If you want a nice, customizable IDE try wxDev-C++ (it uses mingw )
That said, Notepad++ rocks.
