Using CreateWindowEx to Make a Message-Only Window

by

lpClassName shouldn’t be NULL. Register class using RegisterClassEx function and pass it to CreateWindowEx.

static const char* class_name = "DUMMY_CLASS";
WNDCLASSEX wx = {};
wx.cbSize = sizeof(WNDCLASSEX);
wx.lpfnWndProc = pWndProc;        // function which will handle messages
wx.hInstance = current_instance;
wx.lpszClassName = class_name;
if ( RegisterClassEx(&wx) ) {
  CreateWindowEx( 0, class_name, "dummy_name", 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, HWND_MESSAGE, NULL, NULL, NULL );
}
