Beginning Windows Programming

oamsath (16)
Hello
I'm beginning windows programming and the problem is while browsing a book, I was told to build this code as my first window creation. But the program has something wrong and I cannot find it by searching the internet. The program opens and resides in memory without closing or being visible to me. I have to close it using CTRL-ALT-DEL .. can any one help me ?

Is line 31 correct?
Are you sure it should be "ZooM Window" or "ZooM Class"
