Check for window registration
Author
Once I have registered a window by using:
if(!RegisterClassEx(&Host))
{
MessageBox(NULL, "Window Registration Failed!", "Error!", MB_ICONEXCLAMATION | MB_OK);
}
how can I go about checking ot see if it has registered?
Well, if it goes the the "else" part of the if, then it has registerd (so if RegisterClassEx has returned non-zero).
You could do a GetClassInfo to retrieve, it, but it isn't neccesary.

I thought the code I provided was registering the window? Is that not correct?
It is registering the window, and checking to make sure it was registered. How else could it possibly tell you that the registration failed?

I think that I have failed to state my request clearly in my original post.
After my window has been registered, I want to be able to check to see if it has been registered from somewhere else in my code. I cannot use the same code as what I provided in my original post because the application will attempt to register the window again and of course I get a message stating that the registration failed.

As far as I know, Windows isn't in the habit of unregistering classes without warning, so you could get away with storing the return value and checking it as your leisure:

ATOM registered_state = RegisterClassEx(&Host);// Then at any point laterif (registered_state) { // Window was successfully registered} else { // Window was not successfully registered}Regards

I believe you're looking for GetClassInfoEx(). If your class is registered then this function will succeed.
