Ordinarily, you create that window in WinMain.

The callback is called by Windows. It is the message hook. You create the window, and in the class structure you create the window with is the address of that function. Also, you can create a window, and use SetWindowLong to set the callback address.

Post your cpp file, like I said in your other thread. I will show you how its done.

I have a copy of the tutorial (attached to this post). Nice little tutorial Sephnroth.

I have also added another Win32 API tutorial in the zip file which shows you how to do other stuff.

Much good work is lost for the lack of a little more.

excellent, thanks mono! I thought I had lost it xD I'll re-host it on my new server soon.

Don't forget though guys, it was written for use with visual studio 6 - no idea how well it will translate to 2005/2008!
