    Multiple windows.

    hi, what im asking for here is a bit of detail ( i think )

    but im wondering how to create multiple windows in a win32 program (api)

    i have tried creating more than 1 window with createwindow and showing it, it works fine but if the main window has a menu so will the others, all the others are the same color as the main window, they all basicly use the same messages as the main window.

    i want to know how to make it so if there is multiple windows and i close one they all dont close, and how they can have different menus and colors and so on, thanks.

    ¤ Register different window classes for the created windows
    ¤ Use different windows message handlers
    ¤ Don't put PostQuitMessage(0) in the WM_CLOSE message, but when you really want to quit.
