You're kidding .. can't you spot a small syntax error? Look at line 3

There's no need to be a prick about it. Transposition of characters is a subtle-enough error it can be hard to spot. Especially if the person has dyslexia (not that I'm implying they do).

@OP:
Your window handle is "hgMainWnd", you've transposed the 'h' and the 'g' in your variable name(s) in InitWindowsApp().

So how do you call that?A spelling error ?

Yes.

Thanks, I'm working out of a book and had to copy the code from it... I must have been really tired.
