Missing Close Button on Basic Win32API application

friday

Hi
I'm starting out Win32API progaramming,
and my first code is a bit iffy, it doesnt have the
standard close icon on the top right hand corner,
have I forgotten a style? I'm sure it agrees exactly with
other basic code (i've checked several time already!)
and I had to typecast the line:

winClass.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH) GetStockObject(BLACK_BRUSH);

even though the code I was copying did not have that (HBRUSH)
in it.

Many thanks

solved it myself, it should be WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW not WS_OVERLAPPED!
