No clue why I'm getting this error. :/

Forgive me for starting with the most obvious question, but I do not know your skill level. Do you have "wWinMain()" defined anywhere in your header file 'Win32Project2.h'?

This error is actually pretty easy to understand. For one reason or another the compiler thinks you have multiple entry points defined.

Side note question: On Line 10 where you have the Macro 'WIN32_WINNT', did you mean to have typed '_WIN32_WINNT' instead? If so, then you should be assigning a value to it since it is evaluated for one when the header files get resolved.

My header file is the precomplied header when you begin a win 32 project in Visual Studio 2012. I searched the header myself and did not find any wWinMain functions already in the header.

I'm trying to learn to develop win 32 applications using Microsoft's Guide:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/desktop/ff381399(v=vs.85).aspx

But the header's they give often result in errors when I try to run them with VS and I've had to go to external sites to figure out what libraries I need to include for it all to compile correctly. Needless to say, it's a very outdated/poor guide.

Computergeek is correct - The error message is pretty clear: you have defined the same function twice.

int WINAPI wWinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE, PWSTR pCmdLine, int nCmdShow) {

... 

}

and

int APIENTRY _tWinMain(_In_ HINSTANCE hInstance,
 _In_opt_ HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
 _In_ LPTSTR lpCmdLine,
 _In_ int nCmdShow)
 {

...

}

are the exact same function declarations.

Ahh, ok. Sorry for asking such a silly question. I just put in the sample code for a COM graphic that the article had and put it right under the header. Weird that they put in a WinMain function in a sample code meant to be added onto the header when the header already has a WinMain function.

So, I'm assuming that everything under my second WinMain function should go under the WinMain function in the header?
