how can call the message loop in a diferent way?

[Cambalinho]

windows program is like:

//Message Loop
WPARAM MessageLoop()
{
    MSG msgEvents;
    while(GetMessage(&msgEvents,NULL,0,0))
    {

        if(!IsDialogMessage(ActivatedForm,&msgEvents))
        {
            TranslateMessage(&msgEvents);
            DispatchMessage(&msgEvents);
        }
    }
    return msgEvents.wParam;
}


int WINAPI WinMain (HINSTANCE hThisInstance, HINSTANCE hPreviousInstance, LPSTR lpCmLine, int nCmdShow)
{
    //do some stuff...
    return MessageLoop();
}

i had tryied called the MessageLoop() on a diferent place without sucess :(
(i have a form class that creates a window and i have, inside the class, a window procedure)
can i call the MessageLoop(), when i create the form\window?

What exactly is the problem? Does it just not bring up a window? Does it freeze? Do you get a segfault?

Your message loop is fine, you can pump messages from anywhere on the same thread that you create the window.

[Cambalinho]

sorry. but the email notification was off on these thread :(
freezes until the MessageLoop() it's called, because theres to many code before it :(
that's why i need some advice :(
in my opinion: the best is call the MessageLoop(), after the 1st form is created. but i didn't get sucess for it :(
because i need return a value, or the application can close.

[Cambalinho]

on "//do some stuff..." i have several code. while is doing\executing that code, the application is freezed. after that the MessageLoop() give me back the application.
what you can tell me more?

can i call the MessageLoop(), when i create the form\window?

Without further information I'd say you would have to be very careful about what you mean by "//do some stuff..."

Don't forget that some of that "stuff" could possibly require a running message pump, which you haven't yet provided, apparently, if you havn't called MessageLoop() yet.

[Cambalinho]

you have right freddie.
so what i did:
- instead add all code on main function, i just changed the variables events;

int WINAPI WinMain (HINSTANCE hThisInstance, HINSTANCE hPreviousInstance, LPSTR lpCmLine, int nCmdShow)
{
    property<variant> prtVariant;
    prtVariant=100;
    variant intnumber;
    variant intNumbere="hello world";
    variant *intNumbere1=&intNumbere;
    *intNumbere1="joaquim";
    string intnumber2;
    variant intnumber3;

    cw.Create=[&]()
    {
        cw.SetTextBackColor(RGB(0,0,255), RGB(0,255,0));
        cw.write(*intNumbere1);
        cw.write("\nhello world","\n","enter the 1st name: ",1000, "\n");
        cw.read(intnumber);
        cw.write("enter the 2nd name: ");


        cw.read(intnumber2);
        cw.write("enter the age: ");
        cw.read(intnumber3);
    };

    fb.Create=[&]()
    {
        img.Backcolor=RGB(255,0,0);
        img.Backcolor=-1;
        usrName.adress="viseu hello";

        usrName.age=23;
        usrName.name="joaquim";
        usrName.foto.FileName="C:\\Nova pasta\\007.gif";


        //SaveDataBase("C:\\Nova pasta\\username1.dat",usrName);
        //ReadDataBase("C:\\Nova pasta\\username1.dat",usrName2);

        fb.Paint=[](HDC windowdc)//fb is my form object
        {
            img2.draw(windowdc);

        };

        img2=img;

        img.Backcolor=GetSysColor(COLOR_MENU);
        img.Backcolor=Transparent;
        fb.BackColor=RGB(255,0,0);
        mnuExit.imgMenu=img2;
        mnuExitSys.imgMenu=img2;
        mnuExitSys2.imgMenu=img2;
        mnuLOL.imgMenu=mnuExitSys2.imgMenu;
        mnuFile.imgMenu=img2;

        mnuLOL.Click=[&]()
        {
            mnuLOL.Check=!mnuLOL.Check;
            MessageBox("clicked!!!");
        };

        mnuLOL.MouseEnter=[&]()
        {
            mnuLOL.Caption="hello";
        };


        mnuLOL.MouseLeave=[&]()
        {
            mnuLOL.Caption="good bye";
        };

        mnuExit.MouseEnter=[&]()
        {

        img2.DrawImage=[&](int subimage)
        {
            if(fb.Visible==true)
                fb.Refresh();




        };
        imgIcon.DrawImage=[&](int subimage)
        {
            fb.SetIcon(imgIcon);
        };


        //fb.SetIcon("c:\\Users\\Cambalinho\\Documents\\CodeBlocks\\classcontrols\\x-7.ico");

        //tmr.Start();
        mnuExitSys2.Click=[&]()
        {
            MessageBox("hello dear friend");
        };
        mnuExitSys.MouseEnter=[]()

        };

        mnuExit.Click=[]()//clique do rato num butao
        {
            mnuExit.Check=!mnuExit.Check;
        };

        btnHorizontal.setLeft(4000);
        btnHorizontal.setTop(4000);
        btnHorizontal.MouseClick=[]()
        {
            MessageBox("hello world!!!");

            lblTest.text="hello brother";
        };

        int i=0;
        for (i; i<8; i++)
        {
            int inttop=150 + (i*50);

            btnarray[i].setTop(inttop);
            btnarray[i].setLeft(0);
            btnarray[i].setText(to_string(i));
            btnarray[i].MouseClick=[i]()
            {
                MessageBox(btnarray[i].getText(), "");
                MessageBox(vrttest);

        {
            fb.print();
        };

        cw.Create();//take several time
    };



    return MessageLoop();

}

Create it's an event(just a function variable name).
now i see 1 problem on:
cw.Create();//take several time
- you have 1 question why i called cw Create there, if it's called on window console form?
- that's because i'm getting trouble on it :( ;
- it's cake several time for execute the code.

so let me ask you 1 diferent thing, from these problem, when i create a RichText control, i must change the create message. but i'm getting problem for catch it's message. can anyone advice me?
