Question for you Loyen...

Are you using this program you are trying to write to fill a a user screen with whatever you want it to say?

As in a joke of some sort?

Far be it from me to insinuate your intentions, but from what I have read about your project, it seems to me that you don't want the user to be able to stop a continuous flow of windows popping up with no way to stop it minus killing the thread that it runs on.

If that is the case, google is your answer and you shouldn't be asking for help here.

If i am wrong about that, then simply explain why you would want such a program with any way to stop it.

My apologies if I have misread your intentions, but I am willing to bet that others have thought what I have written.

No, sorry if it sounded like that.. I wanted just a little popup to come up when you press the exe, saying something, but I tried some things and got it to work, with the little command window in the background.. the code is this:

 Help with Code Tags 
 pascal Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
PROGRAM popup;
USES Windows, Messages;
BEGIN
  MessageBox ( 0, 'You just got OWNED', '        OWNED', Mb_ok );
  PostQuitMessage ( 0 );
  Halt ( 1 );
END.
PROGRAM popup;
USES Windows, Messages;
BEGIN
  MessageBox ( 0, 'You just got OWNED', '        OWNED', Mb_ok );
  PostQuitMessage ( 0 );
  Halt ( 1 );
END.

It has a ok button, and it stops by pressing ENTER.. It was just something I wanted to try out. I'll try to make something more.

The example you posted on the last page compiled and worked fine for me using Delphi, but FPC choked... I'm not sure why yet. I've recently upgraded FPC and I think I might have goofed something. I still need to play with it more...

Ok, I'm having fun with this thing. My teacher called me a hacker cause I'm going Porgramming A and popup windows will be introduced in Programming C course

Also this is the version of pascal I'm using:

Now, I want to add a bitmap to my popup message and maybe try to change sounds.. I'm just goofing around to learn..
