I have a very strange problem and the following code wont compile:

#ifndef MYWINDOW_HPP_INCLUDED
#define MYWINDOW_HPP_INCLUDED

class MyWindow{

    private:
        WNDCLASSEX window_class;
        HWND window_handle;
        HDC device_context_handle;
        HGLRC open_gl_render_context;
        MSG message;
        BOOL quit;

    public:
        Window(int height=416, int width=544, WindowStyle window_style=WINDOWED);
        void Show();
        void Close();
        ~Window();

};

#endif // MYWINDOW_HPP_INCLUDED

error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘attribute‘ before ‘MyWindow’

I have updated the code now but that still hasn’t solved the problem. Here is the only other code I have in my project, I linked it because adding al those spaces would take a while:
here’s the code

    Ahh, silly me, I had main saved as a .c file instead of .cpp, resulting in Code::Blocks trying to compile it as in c instead of c++, thanks for your help guys!
