Hi guys, long time no see!

I have a little question about the well known GDK, I'm interested in the way GDK works! I mean there is no entrypoint(main or winmain) and no MsgProc at all!!! (At least our code are so clear )
(It's just so nice to write our frameworks with a structure like this one)

Now, I want to know how it's been done? I tried to google it out, but no luck! Cause I don't think TGC used something like #pragma comment(linker,"/ENTRY:startupfunction")! Did they?

TIA.

Have no experience in Dark GDK (have never used it), but shouldn't this question be in the Dark GDK board?

I don't think so! The GDK was written in C++ and I have a question about it (the GDK) and the answer is about C++ programming... So, the Topic is about programming... That's it!

btw, I don't have any problem asking this in that forum.

Thanks.

I'm not really sure what the entry point is. They have a function called 'void DarkGDK(void)' that takes place of where a regular main() function would be. I'll move this to the GDK forum and you might get a better response there.

Either forum is probably okay, but I think you'll get more of a response here.

Try,

The winmain is hidden from us, because I think GDK has to take control of the message loop and windows init.

So all the window init code and the Message loop is hidden by the DarkGDK().

Hope this helps a little

And I think this is why I would fail if I tried to convert the headers to work with - say - FreePascal.
