Hi ppl,my first time posting in thsi forum! well, I just started to learn to program (bought Tricks for windows game....) for windows and i have a question. how would i change this program so that if I close only one window, the whole program won't quit and it will only quit if i close both windows. Hope this comes out right... *crosses fingers* // INCLUDES //////////////////////////////////// #define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN //no MFC #include #include #include #include // DEFINES ///////////////////////////////////// // define for windows #define WINDOW_CLASS_NAME "WINCLASS1" #define WINDOW_CLASS_NAME2 "WINCLASS2" // GLOBALS ///////////////////////////////////// // FUNCTIONS /////////////////////////////////// LRESULT CALLBACK WindowProc(HWND hwnd, UINT msg, WPARAM wparam, LPARAM lparam) { // this is the main message handler of the system PAINTSTRUCT ps; // used in WM_Paint HDC hdc; // handle to a device context // what is the message switch(msg) { case WM_CREATE: { // do initialization stuff here //return success return(0); } break; case WM_PAINT: { // simply validate the window hdc = BeginPaint(hwnd,&ps); // you would do all your painting here EndPaint(hwnd,&ps); // return success return (0); } break; case WM_DESTROY: { // kill the application, this sends a WM_QUIT message PostQuitMessage(0); // return success return(0); } break; default:break; } // end switch // process any messages that we didn't take care of return (DefWindowProc(hwnd, msg, wparam, lparam)); } // end WinProc // WINMAIN ////////////////////////////////////////// int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hinstance, HINSTANCE hprevinstance, LPSTR lpcmdline, int ncmdshow) { WNDCLASSEX winclass, winclass2; // this will hold the class we create HWND hwnd; // generic window handle MSG msg; // generic message // first fill in the window class structure winclass.cbSize = sizeof(WNDCLASSEX); winclass.style = CS_DBLCLKS | CS_OWNDC | CS_HREDRAW | CS_VREDRAW; winclass.lpfnWndProc = WindowProc; winclass.cbClsExtra = 0; winclass.cbWndExtra = 0; winclass.hInstance = hinstance; winclass.hIcon = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_APPLICATION); winclass.hCursor = LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW); winclass.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH)GetStockObject(BLACK_BRUSH); winclass.lpszMenuName = NULL; winclass.lpszClassName = WINDOW_CLASS_NAME; winclass.hIconSm = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_APPLICATION); // fill in the window class 2 structure winclass2.cbSize = sizeof(WNDCLASSEX); winclass2.style = CS_DBLCLKS | CS_OWNDC | CS_HREDRAW | CS_VREDRAW; winclass2.lpfnWndProc = WindowProc; winclass2.cbClsExtra = 0; winclass2.cbWndExtra = 0; winclass2.hInstance = hinstance; winclass2.hIcon = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_APPLICATION); winclass2.hCursor = LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW); winclass2.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH)GetStockObject(WHITE_BRUSH); winclass2.lpszMenuName = NULL; winclass2.lpszClassName = WINDOW_CLASS_NAME2; winclass2.hIconSm = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_APPLICATION); // register the window class if (!RegisterClassEx(&winclass)) return(0); if (!RegisterClassEx(&winclass2)) return(0); // create the window if (!(hwnd = CreateWindowEx(NULL, // extended style WINDOW_CLASS_NAME, // class "Window 1 based on WINCLASS1", // title WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW | WS_VISIBLE, 0,0, // initial x,y 400,400, // initial width, height NULL, // handle to parent NULL, // handle to menu hinstance, //instance of this application NULL))) // extra creation parms return(0); // create the second window if (!(hwnd = CreateWindowEx(NULL, WINDOW_CLASS_NAME2, "Window 2 based on WINCLASS2", WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW | WS_VISIBLE, 100,100, 400,400, NULL, NULL, hinstance, NULL))) return(0); // enter main event loop while(TRUE) { if (PeekMessage(&msg,NULL,0,0,PM_REMOVE)) { // test if this is a quit if (msg.message == WM_QUIT) break; // translate any accelerator keys TranslateMessage(&msg); // send the message to the window proc DispatchMessage(&msg); } // end if } // end while return(msg.wParam); } // end WinMain Edit: errrr....dang, what happened to my paragraphing!?!?!
