initialising

Hi, is there a message for initialising an ordinary window?
what I mean is, say you had a dialog function you have a WM_INITDIALOG message, which you can use to set initial data, is there an equivilant message for an ordinary window?

Maybe:

in your part where it says something like:

switch(message)
{
.
. //code
.
}

try adding case WM_CREATE:

DOH
WM_CREATE, why didn't i think of that(bangs head on moitor).
thanks dude, been scratchin my head for ages heh heh
