I'm modifying a program that came with VC++, and I'm trying to use BASS (0.9) in it, but I can't get it to initialize for some reason.  It gives an Unknown Error (eek).  Can anyone figure out what might be wrong?  I have the source stuff here:
http://www.beatfox.com/sonic_midimon.zip

Just unzip it into an empty folder and open "sonic midimon.dsw" -- everything should be set up there.  BASS_Init is called in BGM::Init (in bgm.cpp), which is called in WinMain (in midimon.cpp).

I compiled the Basstest program that comes with BASS, and that ran just fine.  In both Basstest and my program, BASS_Init is one of the first things that's called (as far as I can tell -- I'm still not very experienced in VC++ and Windows programming).  So where might the problem be?

The problem is you have not created the application's window before calling BASS_Init, so hMainWnd = 0 when you make the BASS_Init call.

Ah yes, that was indeed the problem -- thanks for pointing that out!  I guess I've still got a long way to go with Windows programming
