Window unfocus when MessageBox must be shown

alexbnc (178)
Hi, this is so weird, so I have no other option than asking for a little help again.

I have a button BUTTON2 created while WM_COMMAND (when I press a button created with WM_CREATE, called BUTTON1). When I click on the BUTTON2 a MessageBox element should appear, with a message. What happens is that when I click on it the window looses its focus but the message doesn't appear.
The structure of the messages handler is like this:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
 
WM_CREATE
    //BUTTON1 is created here
break;
WM_COMMAND
    if(((HWND)lParam) && (HIWORD(wParam) == BN_CLICKED)) {
        switch(LOWORD(wParam)) {
            case BUTTON1:
                //Here I create BUTTON2
            break;
            case BUTTON2:
                //Here I try to display a message. This doesn't show but the    
                //window is unfocused
                MessageBox(NULL, "Hi", "Message", MB_OK|MB_ICONINFORMATION);
            break;
        }
    }
break;


Can anyone give me a hand. I am lost again. Thank you!

I don't see anything obviously wrong.

The only thing I can think of is you got the parents screwed up somewhere. Like you gave BUTTON2 a null parent when you created it instead of giving it your window.

Yes, it was that. I used the hWnd argument of the messages handler in a wrong place. (I forgot that the hWnd argument is not always pointing to the main window). "And there was light"
