Help me, Windows experts!

Hi,

What's wrong with this code?
int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
				   char* szCmdLine, int iCmdShow)
{
	static char szAppName[] = "Tower of Hanoi Game";
	HWND hwnd;
	MSG msg;
	WNDCLASSA wndclass;
	hInst = hInstance;

	wndclass.style = CS_HREDRAW | CS_VREDRAW;
	wndclass.lpfnWndProc = WndProc;
	wndclass.cbClsExtra = 0;
	wndclass.cbWndExtra = 0;
	wndclass.hInstance = hInstance;
	wndclass.hIcon = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_APPLICATION);
	wndclass.hCursor = LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW);
	wndclass.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH)GetStockObject(WHITE_BRUSH);
	wndclass.lpszMenuName = (LPCSTR)IDR_MENU1;
	wndclass.lpszClassName = szAppName;

	if(!RegisterClassA(&wndclass))
	{
		MessageBoxA(NULL, "Fatal Error! Window class could not be registered.",
			szAppName, MB_ICONERROR);
		return 0;
	}
	hwnd = CreateWindowA(szAppName,
		"Tower of Hanoi",
		WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,
		CW_USEDEFAULT,
		CW_USEDEFAULT,
		CW_USEDEFAULT,
		CW_USEDEFAULT,
		NULL,
		NULL,
		hInstance,
		NULL);
	ShowWindow(hwnd, iCmdShow);
	UpdateWindow(hwnd);

	while(GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0))
	{
		TranslateMessage(&msg);
		DispatchMessage(&msg);
	}
	return msg.wParam;
}
When I run it, instead of being called "Tower of Hanoi" the window's title bar just has a bunch of little square boxes.

You are using VC2005 aren't you?
I'm almost certain that it's because of Unicode. You'll need to work with it or disable it. Kilo had a thread about it a while back. Might want to look for that.

You were absolutely right. I've fixed the problem by disabling Unicode in the project properties. Thanks!
