main.cpp
c:\documents and settings\owner\desktop\lightning round\code\main.cpp(0) : fatal error C1033: cannot open program database 'c:\documents and settings\owner\desktop\lightning round\code\debug\vc60.pdb'
Error executing cl.exe.

Code.exe - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)


Here is my handler.

Code:

LRESULT CALLBACK WindowProc(HWND hwnd, UINT msg, WPARAM wparam, LPARAM lparam)
{
PAINTSTRUCT ps;
HDC hdc;
switch(msg){
case WM_CREATE:
	{
		HDC hdc = GetDC(hwnd);
		COLORREF TextColor = RGB(0,175,0);
		SetTextColor(hdc,TextColor);
		SetBkMode(hdc,TRANSPARENT);
		return(0);
	}break;
case WM_PAINT:
	{
		hdc = BeginPaint(hwnd,&ps);
		TextOut(hdc,55,40,"Username:",strlen("Username:"));
		TextOut(hdc,55,80,"Password:",strlen("Password:"));
		EndPaint(hwnd,&ps);
		return(0);
	}break;
case WM_CLOSE:
	{
		PostQuitMessage(0);
		return(0);
	} break;
case WM_DESTROY:
	{
		PostQuitMessage(0);
		return(0);
	} break;
default:break;
}
return(DefWindowProc(hwnd,msg,wparam,lparam));
}

I think the problem is that it is still hanging out in your process list due to improper handling of the WM_CLOSE message. WM_CLOSE is supposed to initiate a DestroyWindow call (::DefWindowProc does this for us if you don't specify it!) which kills child and the owner windows. So basically, you can just take out handling of the WM_CLOSE message out of your code, or implicitely call DestroyWindow from it which will then post a WM_DESTROY and you PostQuite Message, etc.

Code:

switch(message)
{
   WM_MESSAGE: ...;
   WM_MESSAGE: ...;
   // Not needed WM_CLOSE: DestroyWindow(hwnd); break;
   WM_DESTROY: PostQuitMessage(0); break;
}
