a question

[limbo]

Can somebody explain how the following code works? I know it just makes an instance of the application and let it run. But what are the INT, WINAPI, HINSTANCE and etc kind of things? Where does ogre declare them? Or are they some key words of C++? Sorry if my question sounds silly, but I really want to know the answer. Thank you!!!!!!!!!

Code: Select all

INT WINAPI WinMain( HINSTANCE hInst, HINSTANCE, LPSTR strCmdLine, INT )
{

     LightApplication app;

    try {
        app.go();
    } catch( Ogre::Exception& e ) {
        MessageBox( NULL, e.getFullDescription().c_str(), "error！", MB_OK | MB_ICONERROR | MB_TASKMODAL );
    }

    return 0;
}

this is standard windows programming style...all those are defines having keywords behind or just keywords.
that is the main function a windows program will call when u will run the program.

Code: Select all

LightApplication app;

- this defines your ogre application

Code: Select all

try { 
        app.go(); 
    } catch( Ogre::Exception& e ) { 
        MessageBox( NULL, e.getFullDescription().c_str(), "error！", MB_OK | MB_ICONERROR | MB_TASKMODAL ); 
    } 

this is runnning your application, calling the go method...the try(){}catch() is just an exception handler (if an error is raised inside the ogre app, this handler will catch it)...here the application will popup a message box in case of an ogre error!
the your function returns, and the program ends!

sorry...i should looked better...
those are defined internally by windows!! u shouldnt worry about them!

Don't say sorry, your reply is very helpful! I'm not sure whether they are C++ keywords or not before reading your post
