i tried the the link that u had sent... i.e. http://www.codeproject.com/dialog/statusbarmsgwnd.asp well, i went through the code and tried to include it in my application. first i just included the stuff in the initdialog function to check whether it works.. well,to my pleasure, it worked. but then when i tried porting it to the actual location, it failed. i have created a thread in the application and want to call the code within the application. but when i do so, the application fails...it exits forcibly... a portion of the code is shown below: DWORD WINAPI CDlg::TestThread1(LPVOID lpParam) { CDlg* pThis = (CDlg*)lpParam; while(1) { if(pThis->m_hCommEvent1) { WaitForSingleObject(pThis->m_hCommEvent1, INFINITE); CStatusBarMsgWnd* t_MsgWnd = StatusBarMsgWnd::CreateObject( _T("Some idiot has signed in !!"),180, 150, 4000,10,CRect(30, 30, 130, 110),pThis); t_MsgWnd->PopMsg(); } } } Can u suggest wat modifications should i do...

I would suggest to post (or send) a message back to the application from the thread, and to handle that message there doing the work Papa while (TRUE) Papa.WillLove ( Bebe ) ;
