I've been working on my Win32 skills (not to say I'll be abandoning Acknex, ), and I've come at a problem. I don't know exactly how to set up a function that will load the content of a text file into an edit box (basically like NotePad).

I have this function that I copied precisely from the tutorial that I'm working from:

Code:

BOOL LoadTextToEdit(HWND hEdit,LPCSTR pszFileName)
{
	HANDLE hFile;
	BOOL bSuccess= FALSE;
	
	hFile= CreateFile(pszFileName,GENERIC_READ,FILE_SHARE_READ,NULL,
		OPEN_EXISTING,0,NULL);
	if(hFile!= INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
	{
		DWORD dwFileSize;
		
		dwFileSize= GetFileSize(hFile,NULL);
		if(dwFileSize!= 0xFFFFFFFF)
		{
			LPSTR pszFileText;
			
			pszFileText= GlobalAlloc(GPTR,dwFileSize + 1);
			if(pszFileText!= NULL)
			{
				DWORD dwRead;
				
				if(ReadFile(hFile,pszFileText,dwFileSize,&dwRead,NULL))
				{
					pszFileText[dwFileSize]= 0;
					if(SetWindowText(hEdit,pszFileText))
						bSuccess= TRUE;
				}
				GlobalFree(pszFileText);
			}
		}
		CloseHandle(hFile);
	}
	return bSuccess;
}


It has a great deal of error checking, and I think that's where the problem lies. Can anyone tell me how to set this up properly in Lite-C Legacy?

EDIT: If this belongs more in the Higher Languages forum, then feel free to move it.

Code:
void main()
{
    cout << "I am MrCode,";
    cout << "hear me roar!";
    system("PAUSE");
