I don't know why this is so hard for you to understand: if you make a post and you have a question, then you need to actually ask the question. If you have an error you can't figure out, post the error.
I don't know why you keep tying the DX rope around your neck. Since you are an obvious beginner, you shouldn't be trying to use Direct 3D. And, I don't know why you would keep trying to use the Windows message API when it too isn't the easiest thing to understand. But, for some unknown reason you just HAVE to use D3D.
Explain fully why you're using D3D/MS Windows API instead of something much simpler like SFML.

I am using dx9 because I really want to learn how the professionals do it.I am getting better but it is slow going.I am not going to give up.

Good that you won't give up, but you're just making things more painful for you than is required. Learn the easier methods, have fun with it, and WHEN YOU'RE READY, you can tackle the more difficult API's like D3D and OpenGL.
Or keep pounding sand like you're doing now.
