DirectX and C++ - c++

Question

I am having trouble with the following CPP code: http://ideone.com/XZXZJ .
I am receiving the following errors:
(1) Warning 1 warning LNK4042: object specified more than once; extras ignored c:\Users\jabbott\documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\DirectX9_Tutorial\DirectX9_Tutorial\Debug\WinMain.obj 1
(2) Error 2 error LNK1561: entry point must be defined c:\Users\jabbott\documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\DirectX9_Tutorial\DirectX9_Tutorial\LINK
No Entry Point setting isn't set. I've tried to set this to WinMain with no luck.

Your first problem can be solved by deleting this line:
LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hWnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam); /* Predeclaration of WinProc() */
You already have the implementation of the function directly above it. You only need the above if the implementation of the function occurs after the point the function is called or the implementation is in a different translation unit (source file). Generally, try to avoid the 'predeclaration' of functions if you can, use the function itself as the declaration, it will reduce the amount of maintenance required.
The second problem might be because you are compiling a console application (entry point main) rather than a windows application (entry point WinMain).
