Thread: getting fed up with CreateWindow

i havent had this problem before, with either the CreateWindow or CreateWindowEx functions, but suddenly my window wont create and ive tried everything i can think of to no avail.

this is my setup:

Code:

WNDCLASS wnd;

	wnd.style = CS_HREDRAW | CS_VREDRAW;
	wnd.cbClsExtra = 0;
	wnd.cbWndExtra = 0;
	wnd.lpfnWndProc = (WNDPROC)WndProc;
	wnd.hInstance = hInstance;
	wnd.hCursor = LoadCursor(NULL, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDC_CURSOR1));
	wnd.hIcon = LoadIcon(NULL, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_ICON1));
	wnd.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH)(COLOR_WINDOW + 1);
	wnd.lpszMenuName = MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_MENU1);
	wnd.lpszClassName = "MyClass";
	

	if ( ! RegisterClass( &wnd ) )
	{
		MessageBox(NULL, "Window Registration Failed!", "Error", MB_OK);
		return 0;
	}

	HWND hWnd = CreateWindow( wnd.lpszClassName, "Window", WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, 
		0, 0, 500, 500, NULL, NULL, hInstance, NULL);

	if ( !hWnd )
	{
		MessageBox(NULL, "Window Creation Failed!", "Error", MB_OK);
		return 0;
	}

it compiles fine and i cant find anything wrong with it, but i get the "creation failed" popup every time.

any thoughts?

oh, duh... i dont even have a create or a default in my wndproc... :P

thanks...
