      A Message Only Window is typically a window that you create that is kept invisible and does not receive any user input.  Its sole purpose is to receive window messages.    You can use the CreateWindow(...) function to create just about any window that you would ever need.    BTW - I think that there is a special style available in later versions of the Win32 SDK for message-only windows, but I cannot find it now.    Peace!

        this is what msdn says: A message-only window enables you to send and receive messages. It is not visible, has no z-order, cannot be enumerated, and does not receive broadcast messages. The window simply dispatches messages. check it on http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms632599(VS.85).aspx#message_only[^]
