Dialog Box error

[The_Server]

Hey again to all... I have a code that creates a dialog box... But this dialog box is useless cause it doesn't handle none of its messages... And when I call DefDlgProc there is an error when it tries to handle message #48 (I think) about a 1000 times. here is my code:

#include <windows.h>
#include "resource.h"

bool g_run = true;

LRESULT CALLBACK About(HWND hDlg, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
switch (message)
{
case WM_INITDIALOG:
ShowWindow(hDlg,SW_SHOW);
return TRUE;

case WM\_COMMAND:
	if (LOWORD(wParam) == IDOK || LOWORD(wParam) == IDCANCEL) 
	{
		g\_run = false;
		EndDialog(hDlg, LOWORD(wParam));
		return TRUE;
	}
	break;

/* default:
return DefDlgProc(hDlg,message,wParam,lParam);
break;
*/ }
return FALSE;
}

int PASCAL WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPTSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
HWND hwnd = CreateDialog(hInstance, (LPCTSTR)IDD_DIALOG1, NULL ,(DLGPROC)About);
if (hwnd == NULL)
{
DWORD err = GetLastError();
}

while (g\_run);

return 0;

};

Hey... dude... You need to change your while (g_run); line to this lines:

BOOL bRet;
MSG msg;

while ((g\_run) && ( (bRet = GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0)) != 0 ))
{ 
	if (bRet == -1 )
	{
		// handle the error and possibly exit
	}
	else if (!IsWindow(hwnd) || !IsDialogMessage(hwnd, &msg)) 
	{ 
		TranslateMessage(&msg); 
		DispatchMessage(&msg); 
	} 
} 

**I wonder why it works ???? Really.. I don't know why it works... but it does**

I tell why it works... :-O it didn't work because your dialog window didn't recieve the messages. :-O Now it works because your dialog now recieves the messages... that is why we need to use TranslateMessage and DispatchMessage. :-O
