Win32 MessageBox does not appear

Question

I have a strange problem. I am making a Win32 application in VC ++ 2008, creating a class to encapsulate most of the work for easy repetition on invocation MessageBox. A message box is created (I think), but does not appear if you do not press the Alt key!

What's happening:

• I am running a program

• press Enter

• the main window will lose focus

• gives a beep when I click on the main window, as if a modal MessageBox is present

• either press Escape ... the focus is received OR press Alt, then a MessageBox will appear with the alt key pressed (that is, the menu will be reset).

PS It worked fine, but it happened all of a sudden. I did not find any difference - I even made a new project!

The main program is supposed to:

int APIENTRY _tWinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPTSTR    lpCmdLine, int       nCmdShow)
{
    MSG msg;
    CWnd    cMainWindow(TEXT("DentoMan"), TEXT("Bejkoman")); // pass The class name and window name to the constructor

    cMainWindow.CreateDef(); //Create the Window
    while (GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0))
    {
        TranslateMessage(&msg);
        DispatchMessage(&msg);
    }
    return (int)msg.wParam;
}

While this is a class file

CWnd::CWnd() {
};

CWnd::CWnd(LPTSTR lpszClassName, LPTSTR lpszWindowName) {
    CWnd::lpszClassName     = lpszClassName;
    CWnd::lpszWindowName    = lpszWindowName;
};

CWnd::~CWnd() {
};

// Create the window with default parameters
HWND CWnd::CreateDef(void) {
    WNDCLASSEX wcex;

    wcex.cbSize = sizeof(WNDCLASSEX);

    wcex.style          = CS_HREDRAW | CS_VREDRAW;
    wcex.lpfnWndProc    = StaticWndProc;
    wcex.cbClsExtra     = 0;
    wcex.cbWndExtra     = 0;
    wcex.hInstance      = (HINSTANCE)GetModuleHandle(NULL);
    wcex.hIcon          = 0;
    wcex.hCursor        = LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW);
    wcex.hbrBackground  = (HBRUSH)(COLOR_WINDOW + 4);
    wcex.lpszMenuName   = 0;
    wcex.lpszClassName  = lpszClassName;
    wcex.hIconSm        = 0;

    RegisterClassEx(&wcex);
    g_hWnd = CreateWindowEx(0,lpszClassName, lpszWindowName, WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,
        CW_USEDEFAULT, 0, CW_USEDEFAULT, 0, NULL, NULL, wcex.hInstance, this);
    hInst   =   wcex.hInstance;  //Store hInstance in the class hInst variable

    if (!g_hWnd) return false;
    ShowWindow(g_hWnd, SW_SHOW);
    UpdateWindow(g_hWnd);

    return g_hWnd;

            } // End Switch

P.S. , , MessageBox

Answer 1

Ohhhhhhh, , ... , , WndProc (.......) WM_PAINT. BeginPaint EndPaint, , - , MessageBox, , Alt, , , (i )

WM_PAINT, BeginPaint EndPaint

,

Answer 2

- , :

MessageBox(NULL,L"error",L"Error",MB_ICONERROR|MB_DEFAULT_DESKTOP_ONLY);

Answer 3

When you create your MessageBox, you must pass WS_CHILDto CreateWindowEx.
EDIT 2:
Okay, try it.

MessageBox(hWnd, TEXT("DFGDGD"), TEXT("DFGDFG"), MB_OK);

Answer 4

I had a similar problem that was caused by WM_PAINT as someone mentioned above. Solved it by adding return DefWindowProc(hWnd, Message, wParam, lParam);there.
