C++ is the devil! (Newbie)

[benjy355]

I got it working, most of the way, now I'm just getting an "ambiguous symbol" error on the MessageBox function.

Error 1 error C2872: 'MessageBox' : ambiguous symbol c:\users\*****\documents\visual studio 2005\projects\*****\*****\Form1.h 18

int mrint = MessageBox(NULL, "Blah", "Caption", MB_OK|MB_ICONINFORMATION);

yeah C++ is the devil. Have you ever thought about learning Delphi instead?

 

[benjy355]

I'd much rather learn C++

if you want to learn C++, the first thing you need to learn are classes and data abstraction, not the Windows SDK.

Didn't I say that a little back?

Hm, didn't see you replyed to the previus post Sorry.

I don't think you can use the OOP frameworks well without a solid foundation of C++ concepts

Uh, thats what I meant by starting out in the console? Start at the beginning of C++ or where you fell your at and work toward the more advanced features... Maybe learn some STL while your at it

if you want to learn programming in the year 2008, the first thing you need to learn are classes and data abstraction, not the Windows SDK.

fixed!

 

[seeker010]

fixed!

for most things yes, but C is still going strong for a few things, especially in embedded systems where most of the other languages are too bloated.

And portability!

If coded properly, you can showel it onto almost any platform with no/minimal changes //C++ included
