using windows.h along with main()

Question

I must use main() and call a function from windows.h.

The following code wants a WinMain() function to be used instead of main().

#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    int vk_Shift = 16;

    while (1)
    {
        if (GetAsyncKeyState(vk_Shift) < 0)
        {
            printf("Shift is pressed\n");
        }
    }
}

Error

Error   1   error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _WinMain@16 
referenced in function ___tmainCRTStartup   

Error   2   error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals   

How can I get this work in VS2013?

Answer 1

Okay, guys, I got it.

Felix Palmen's advice works.

... ... I guess configuring it as "console" application should do the trick.

So, what I did is, I changed my project's preference from WIDOWS to CONSOLE.
