HWND pointer

I am making a linked list with this struct:

Code:

---

typedef struct _item{
        int index;
        HWND hParent;
        HWND hChild;
        char * Name;
        struct _item * next;
} item, *pitem;

---

I am having troubles with a hwnd pointer.
like:

Code:

---

pitem something;
something->index = 1;
some->hParent = CreateWindowEx(0,szClassName,
                            "test",WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,
                            CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT,
                              500, 500, hwnd, 0, gInstance, 0);

---

^freezes the program.
ANyone could point me into the right direction it would be
appreciated

You have no memory allocated for pitem in your sample code. Do either:

Code:

---

item something;

---

or

Code:

---

pitem something = malloc(sizeof(struct item));

---

I think

Code:

---

some->hParent = CreateWindowEx(0,szClassName,
                            "test",WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,
                            CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT,
                              500, 500, hwnd, 0, gInstance, 0);

---

should be:

Code:

---


something->hParent = CreateWindowEx(0,szClassName,
                            "test",WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,
                            CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT,
                              500, 500, hwnd, 0, gInstance, 0);

Thank you very much, I am new to linked list, forgot to allocate memory for it.
