how to use winmain function

#include <Windows.h>

int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow) {
    // Entry point for Windows applications

    // hInstance: Handle to the current instance of the application
    // hPrevInstance: Always NULL, obsolete parameter kept for compatibility
    // lpCmdLine: Command line arguments passed to the program as a single string
    // nCmdShow: Controls how the window is to be shown (e.g., minimized, maximized)

    // Your code logic goes here

    return 0; // Return 0 to indicate successful execution
}

This is a basic skeleton for the WinMain function, the entry point for Windows applications. The function takes several parameters:

  • HINSTANCE hInstance: Handle to the current instance of the application.
  • HINSTANCE hPrevInstance: Always NULL, an obsolete parameter kept for compatibility.
  • LPSTR lpCmdLine: Command line arguments passed to the program as a single string.
  • int nCmdShow: Controls how the window is to be shown (e.g., minimized, maximized).

You can place your application logic inside this function, and it should return 0 to indicate successful execution.
