Declaration of WinMain
February 23, 2002 10:33 AM
Looking at different source code examples and tutorials i have seen WinMain() declared in two ways :
1. int WINAPI WinMain(...)
2. int APIENTRY WinMain(...)
So I was wondering, What''s the difference?

One of them was an old Pascal way, but Im not to sure if Im right.

from "windef.h" in your include files in MSVC++ 6.0.

I'm not sure what the last poster's point was, but yeah there is
basiclly no difference, you can say int (APIENTRY,WINAPI, PASCAL,
CDECL(case and spelling right?) ) they are all basically macros
to the exact same things. I like APIENTRY because it kinda
sounds like thats where the Main code should go...the entry point
so to speak

PS well ok I know the last poster was trying in a weird way
to say there was no difference, but he could have been clearer!
