sorry for having to start a new topic but im not getting any replies in my other one. i have the book "Multiplayer Game Programming" which taught me a few things, but some things i cant get to work and im still not real sharp on, due to some lack of explanation. of of these is the displaying of child windows. i THINK i have the code all right for it, but they just dont show in the window. here''s what i have. #include <windows.h> #include <stdio.h> #define IDC_hBU_STATIC 40001 #define IDC_hBU_EDIT 40002 HWND hBU_STATIC = NULL; HWND hBU_EDIT = NULL; LPCTSTR lpszApplicationName = "Sweet"; LPCTSTR lpszTitle = "Totally Sweet Flipped Out Ninjas"; LRESULT CALLBACK fnMessageProcessor (HWND, UINT, WPARAM, LPARAM); int WINAPI WinMain (HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, PSTR szCmdLine, int iCmdShow) { HWND hWnd; MSG msg; WNDCLASSEX wndclass; LOGBRUSH background; wndclass.cbSize = sizeof(wndclass); wndclass.style = CS_HREDRAW | CS_VREDRAW; wndclass.lpfnWndProc = fnMessageProcessor; wndclass.cbClsExtra = 0; wndclass.cbWndExtra = 0; wndclass.hInstance = hInstance; wndclass.hIcon = LoadIcon( NULL, IDI_APPLICATION ); wndclass.hCursor = LoadCursor( NULL, IDC_ARROW ); wndclass.lpszMenuName = NULL; wndclass.lpszClassName = "Sweet"; wndclass.hIconSm = LoadIcon( NULL, IDI_APPLICATION ); background.lbStyle = BS_PATTERN; background.lbHatch = (long) LoadImage( hInstance, "loginbg.bmp", IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_LOADFROMFILE ); wndclass.hbrBackground = CreateBrushIndirect(&background); if( ( RegisterClassEx( &wndclass ) == 0 ) ) { exit(1); } hWnd = CreateWindow("SWEET", "Totally Sweet Flipped Out Ninjas", WS_EX_TRANSPARENT | WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE, CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT, 400, 200, NULL, NULL, hInstance, NULL ); hBU_STATIC = CreateWindow( "account", "Account:", WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE, 80, 72, 120, 28, hWnd, NULL, hInstance, NULL ); hBU_EDIT = CreateWindow( "accountfield", "!", WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | SS_CENTER, 80, 72, 120, 28, hWnd, NULL, hInstance, NULL ); ShowWindow( hWnd, iCmdShow ); UpdateWindow( hWnd ); while( TRUE ) { if (PeekMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_NOREMOVE)) { if (!GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0)) break; TranslateMessage( &msg ); DispatchMessage( &msg ); } } return ( msg.wParam ); } LRESULT CALLBACK fnMessageProcessor ( HWND hWnd, UINT iMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam ) { switch( iMsg ) { case WM_CREATE: return( 0 ); case WM_PAINT: return( 0 ); case WM_DESTROY: PostQuitMessage( 0 ); return( 0 ); } return DefWindowProc( hWnd, iMsg, wParam, lParam ); }

You should not have your paint message like:

WM_PAINT:
return 0;

The window will not be repainted unless you call BeginPaint and
EndPaint or(validateRect). Windows will just send multiple paint messages!!! You should atleast declare WM_PAINT as:

WM_PAINT:
BeginPaint(hwnd,&ps);
EndPaint(hwnd, &ps);
return 0;

Send the static text a new font to use if you don''t like the default one. See CreateFont and WM_SETFONT.

i really cant get this to work. i put in the codes with all the right params set, and i keep getting these syntax errors. i dont know if im putting them in the wrong place, or what. could somebody please take me step through step how to accually set it so the background of the child window is transparent and how to change the font to something more appealing? ive "RTFM", its just that its not explained very well to a beginner how to use some of the functions really.
