A simple button and WM_COMMAND

[csonx_p]

here's my code..

	case WM_COMMAND:	
		switch(HIWORD(wParam))
		{
		case BN_CLICKED:		
			MessageBox(hwnd,"Button is Clicked","BTN WND",MB_ICONINFORMATION);
			break;
		}
		return 0;

// Created a button...
CreateButton(hwnd,cs->hInstance,BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON,initRecArea(305,320,150,30),
			IDBC_DEFPUSHBUTTON,_T("DISPLAY"));

As soon as i run the program, the message "Button is Clicked" appears whether or not the button is pressed! Anything wrong with my code?

Sorry guys, was quick to ask before thinking more... Figured out the solution to the problem...

	case WM_COMMAND:
		if (LOWORD(wParam) == IDBC_DEFPUSHBUTTON) {
			MessageBox(hwnd,"Button is Clicked","BTN WND",MB_ICONINFORMATION);
		}
		return 0;

Read the Petzold, MSDN, and learn how to search on Google Groups.
Your questions are really too childish.

Google groups is blocked from work... Tried it, which is why i always ended up here... I started Win32 API programming last month and through cboard i've learned a lot. Sometimes i get completely stuck and as a new API developer i can't easily figure out things as u may... I'm greatfull for people who have answered my queries without questioning my childish knowledge.. Like now, i have a question but your comment has raised doubts!...

Ask your questions. Most people will either help you thru your code or point you in the direction of reference and/or tutorials without the sarcasm.

Agreed - however, getting Charles Petzold's book is sound advice, as it's well written, and explains API in it's concept with many examples.

#define YOURBUTTONID 1001
in CreateWindow , look for the hmenu parameter and do this
(HMENU)YOURBUTTONID;
it should be , 
switch(wParam)
{
case YOURBUTTONID: 
}
