hi....

#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
#include <windows.h>

HWND g_hwnd = NULL; // gobal handler

.
.
.

bool CreateWindowApp(HWND, HINSTANCE, char[]);
.
.
.

int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
				   LPSTR lpstrCmdLine, int iCmdShow)
{
   //passing g_hwnd through CreateWindowApp

   CreateWindowApp(g_hwnd, hInstance, clsn); 
   .
   .
   .
}
.
.
.

bool CreateWindowApp(HWND hwnd, HINSTANCE hinstance, char classn[])
{
	hwnd = CreateWindowEx(NULL,
				classn,
				"Yahooo",
				WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,
				0,
				0,
				CW_USEDEFAULT,
				CW_USEDEFAULT,
				GetDesktopWindow(),
				NULL,
				hinstance,
				NULL);
	if(hwnd)
	{
		return true;
	}
	else
	{
		return false;
	}
}
.

Question: Why it won''t initialize my g_hwnd in CreateWindowApp()... when i pass to it...... Thanks :-)

First off, since the HWND is global, you don''t need to pass it to the function. But I assume you''re looking for a little more modularity in the end, so the reason it''s not working may be that you need to pass a pointer to the HWND and have the function accept a pointer to an HWND. I can''t remember if HWND is actually a typdefed-over pointer. If it is, I would probably be wrong...

The only other thought I have is that you never registered the class name, but I imagine you did that. Oh, and maybe for the parent window, try NULL instead of GetDesktopWindow().

Or you could use pass-by-reference instead of pass-by-value:

bool CreateWindowApp(HWND&, HINSTANCE, char[]);

With that ampersand in there (and in the function itself, too) it should work with no changes.
