CreateWindowEx(...) help

I was wondering if anyone could tell me why it is this function will return an invalid handle to a window (child or parent). I wrote this code and the hCancel variable keeps returning a NULL handle. I can see no reason for it. If anyone can tell me why windows does this, please let me know. This is not the first time I have had this stupid error but it is the first time I got it from a child window. Anyways here is the code in an attached file. Any help is appreciated.


:D

I don't think that there is any window class called 'CancelButton'. Why don't you just use the 'button' window class.

P.S. GetLastError() and FormatMessage() are your friends.

Review the CreateWindowEx() function. The second parameter is a registered Windows class. Unless you have previously registered a class called "CancelButton", windows will not find it and correctly fail. I suspect you want "button" in there.

I changed the "Cancel Button" to just "button" and it works fine now..... so I take it there is a class called button?
Thanks for all the help guys. it is appreciated.
