hello, I am new to win32 GUI

I am in this tutorial and it says to paste this

#include <windows.h>

int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, 
	LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
	MessageBox(NULL, "Goodbye, cruel world!", "Note", MB_OK);
	return 0;
}

but i keep getting this error:

error C2664: 'MessageBoxW' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'const char [22]' to 'LPCWSTR'

I don't understand

Thank you

Go into project settings. Under general configuration, change character set to Multibyte

[KYA]

or throw a L in front of the text:

MessageBox(NULL, L"Goodbye, cruel world!", L"Note", MB_OK);
