Thread: child windows

Hi, I wrote this code to just get my child windows in position and everything before I continue to add the functionality of my program, but I have a porblem. It all compiles fine, but when I execute it, none of the child windows or the text come up. I'd also like to know how to make it so the maximise/restore buttons are greyed out.

Thanks

Here's the code:

Code:

// the basic template for TalkBack without any functionality

#include <windows.h>
HWND		  hinput;  // user input box
HWND         houtput; // program output box

LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc (HWND, UINT, WPARAM, LPARAM) ;

int WINAPI WinMain (HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
                    PSTR szCmdLine, int iCmdShow)
{
     static TCHAR szAppName[] = TEXT ("TalkBack v0.5 by Chris Pocock") ;
     HWND         hwnd ;   // main window

	 MSG          msg ;
     WNDCLASS     wndclass ;

     wndclass.style         = CS_HREDRAW | CS_VREDRAW ;
     wndclass.lpfnWndProc   = WndProc ;
     wndclass.cbClsExtra    = 0 ;
     wndclass.cbWndExtra    = 0 ;
     wndclass.hInstance     = hInstance ;
     wndclass.hIcon         = LoadIcon (NULL, IDI_APPLICATION) ;
     wndclass.hCursor       = LoadCursor (NULL, IDC_ARROW) ;
     wndclass.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH) GetStockObject (LTGRAY_BRUSH) ;
     wndclass.lpszMenuName  = NULL ;
     wndclass.lpszClassName = szAppName ;

     if (!RegisterClass (&wndclass))
     {
          MessageBox (NULL, TEXT ("This program requires Windows NT!"), 
                      szAppName, MB_ICONERROR) ;
          return 0 ;
     }
     
     hwnd = CreateWindow (szAppName,                  // window class name
                          TEXT ("'TalkBack' v0.5 by Chris Pocock"), // window caption
