Okay i''m new to this forum, so first of all: Hi to everyone Ok, to the business now... I''m working on some piece of window handling code. And i need to test for a WM_CLOSE message before i dispatch it to the message handler. I tried the following: // following code is implemented in a class method // receivedCloseMessage is a boolean class property MSG msg; while( PeekMessage( &msg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE )){ if( WM_CLOSE == msg.message ) receivedCloseMessage = true; TranslateMessage( &msg ); DispatchMessage( &msg ); } But the WM_CLOSE message doesn''t seem to show up there. However it will show up in the message handler itself. I''m also not able to test for WM_DESTROY messages. Only message that i can seem to test for is the WM_QUIT message. Does anyone have a clue as to why i''m unable to find WM_CLOSE or WM_DESTROY messages in my message dispatching code ?
