Yes, gdi32.lib is needed, because dmd\lib\gdi32.lib don't contain GetStockObject function. My Tango is bundled with latest DMD1.033 Later I will try swap gdi32.dll (maybe is corrupted) and compile with older Tango and DMD versions.

Hmm.. I have no problems with your code, it shown an empty black
window
 with a "WINDOWCLASS" caption.
I don't have any idea what's wrong? Tango 0.97 I'm dsss user: command line: dsss build test.d dsss.conf; [test.d] buildflags+=-L/exet:nt buildflags+=-L/su:windows:5 buildflags+=-full
I use "dmd app.d gdi32.lib". Don't know what Tango version it is, but it is bundled with DMD1.029
Yes, gdi32.lib is needed, because dmd\lib\gdi32.lib don't contain GetStockObject function. My Tango is bundled with latest DMD1.033 Later I will try swap gdi32.dll (maybe is corrupted) and compile with older Tango and DMD versions.
Indeed, compiling with the most recent Tango version gives an assertion failure. And it's most probably not a compiler's fault, because old Tango + new dmd shows the window for me. And gdi32.libs are the same for both releases.

Thanks Denis
I tested Tango 0.96 bundled with DMD1.033 = assertion error
            Tango 0.97 bundled with DMD1.033 = assertion error
            
Tango 0.96 bundled with DMD1.027
function tango.sys.win32.UserGdi.CreateWindowExA
(uint,char*,char*,uint,int,int,int,int,void*,void*,void*,void*) does not match
parameter types (int,char*,char*,uint,int,int,int,int,uint,void*,void*,void*)

because:
at Tango0.96 and Tango0.97 HWND_DESKTOP constant is defined as:
HWND_DESKTOP = cast(HWND)0; // void*

at Tango0.95 HWND_DESKTOP constant is defined as:
HWND_DESKTOP = (0); // uint

When I changed HWND_DESKTOP to cast(HWND)0 or just cast(HWND)null then program
works with Tango0.95 bundled with DMD1.027

I can not test Tango0.95 with DMD1.033 because last release of Tango0.95 is
bundled with DMD1.027.

Probably is something wrong with DMD1.033 because program also works with
DMD1.030 and Tango0.99.7.
