Your tutorials are awesome, I have looked at a few books on this topic, but its tutorials like this that make it a bit easier to swallow for a total newbie like myself.

With that said….
Could you provide a unicode example of this? I’m trying to do this example with TCHAR and I can’t get it to work.

if you get:
error C2664: ‘CWnd::MessageBoxW’ : cannot convert parameter 1 from ‘const char [...]‘ to ‘LPCTSTR’

then:
Change your project configuration to use multibyte strings. Press ALT+F7 to open the properties, and navigate to Configuration Properties > General. Switch Character Set to “Use Multi-Byte Character Set”.

Nice site. Really well written. But you’ve not explained callbacks properly. Also, do all callbacks need to be defined in the same manner? Are there any other places where we use callbacks in Windows programming? And lastly, what exactly is that CALLBACK typedef?

Keep writing.
