hello i need little hand with this code . this my code and i having a little hard time with it .
THE HEADER FILE CODES
#include <windows.h>

// Get Text from edit/hWnd
void GetText(HWND hWnd, char* cBuf, int nBufLen)
{
SendMessage(hWnd, WM_GETTEXT, (long) nBufLen, (LPARAM)(LPCSTR) cBuf);
}
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

THE CODES
#include<windows.h>
#include"bitch.h"


LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hWnd,UINT iMsg,WPARAM wParam,LPARAM lParam)
{

switch(iMsg)
{
case WM_CLOSE:
PostQuitMessage(0);
break;
case WM_DESTROY:
DestroyWindow(hWnd);
break;
default:
return DefWindowProc(hWnd,iMsg,wParam,lParam);
}

return 0 ;
}

int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,LPSTR lpCmdLine,int nShowCmd)
{
const char* AppName = "Melvyn";
WNDCLASSEX wc;
HWND hwnd;
HWND hE3;
MSG msg;
char name;







wc.cbSize = sizeof(wc);
wc.style = CS_HREDRAW | CS_VREDRAW;
wc.lpfnWndProc = WndProc;
wc.cbClsExtra = 0;
wc.cbWndExtra = 0;
wc.hInstance = hInstance;
wc.hIcon = LoadIcon(NULL,IDI_APPLICATION);
wc.hCursor = LoadCursor(NULL,IDC_ARROW);
wc.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH)GetStockObject(GRAY_BRUSH);

wc.lpszMenuName = NULL;
wc.lpszClassName = AppName;
wc.hIconSm = LoadIcon(NULL,IDI_APPLICATION);

RegisterClassEx(&wc);

hwnd = CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE,AppName,"Melvyn",WS_OVERLAPPED,0,0,300,300,NULL,NULL,hInstance,NULL);
hE3 = CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE, "edit", NULL, WS_CHILD | ES_MULTILINE, 5, 100, 100, 20, hwnd, NULL, hInstance, NULL);

ShowWindow(hwnd,nShowCmd);
ShowWindow(hE3,nShowCmd);
UpdateWindow(hwnd);

if(hE3 =="melvyn" )
{
MessageBox(hwnd,"hello","cool",MB_OK); // just a example
}
while(GetMessage(&msg,NULL,0,0))
{
TranslateMessage(&msg);
DispatchMessage(&msg);
}


return msg.wParam ;
}

AND I GET ERROR EVERYTHING TIME I TRY TO COMPILE IT I CAN'T UNDERSTAND ERROR IS LITTLE CONFUSING BUT EVERYONE MAKE MISTAKE

error C2446: '==' : no conversion from 'char *' to 'struct HWND__ *'
Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast
C:\Windows\Desktop\Visual C++\Mel\Mel.cpp(61) : error C2230: '==' : indirection to different types
Error executing cl.exe.

Mel.exe - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)

IF YOU COULD FIX UP FOR ME OR EXPLAIN WHAT IM DOING WRONG LET ME KNOW THANK YOU

It would have been helpful if you told us what line was line 61, but I guess it's the one with " if(hE3 =="melvyn" ) ".

Here's a translation of the error message, which should help you to translate similar errors in the future:

"error C2446: '==' : no conversion from 'char *' to 'struct HWND__ *'"
The compiler doesn't know how to compare a variable of type "char *" to a variable of type "struct HWND__*" and the errors occurs somewhere around an "==" operator.

From the line number, we can see that hE3 is defined as a HWND and "melvyn" is of course a char *. HWNDs aren't strings, they're handles of some sort. So, your attempt to compare the char* and the handle cannot be done.
