Hmm what's wrong?! | GameDev.net

I''m trying to create a program that simpily creates a window with a black background. However when the porgram''s window closes the program doesn''t quit. And, yes, I do know that simpily closing the window does NOT end the program. Sorry to have to do such a massive code dump, but i really can''t understand what''s going on here. All i know is that the window closes and the WM_DESTROY message is sent to WndProc, however something seems to be screwy with the PostQuitMessage(). I''m dumping the entire code inncase something in there is screwing it up.
