Hey, If i click on the tiny little cross in the top section of my window, it should not exit the application. How can i do that ? I have searched the web and didnt find anything useful. I know, that WM_CLOSE is sent to the window, when i click on the "X", but it finishes anyway... THX for answers Wolf Fischer

Well, in your winproc function under the WM_CLOSE case you should have something like PostQuitMessage(0). This tell the prog to die. If you take this out, it should not close when u tell it to. I just tested it and it works.

No, there is nothing like that function.
Actually i am just receiving the WM_CLOSE message (and i am just showing a little message box, when the user clicks on the cross), i outcommented WM_QUIT and WM_DESTROYED.
The process keeps running, but the window is being destroyed.

Ok, fixed it... I forgot, that i call the DefWindowProc at the end of my callback function...
