Anybody knows why when i''m using PeekMessage(&msg, hWnd, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE) for the message loop, msg.message will not be WM_QUIT but when using NULL in place of hWnd: PeekMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE) msg.message can be of value WM_QUIT

My guess will be that the QM_QUIT is posted to the thread and not to a window.

A value of NULL specifies that PeekMessage will check the message queue for all windows and threads owned by the process. The WM_QUIT message was probably sent to a different window.
