Is this the messagebox you speak of?
MessageBox(NULL,"TOO","bre",MB_OK | MB_ICONINFORMATION);

[Brent.tc]

#include <winuser.h>
--That is unnecessary as it is included through <windows.h>

Also, try putting that line of code into your main function to see if it shows up then... To me it appears as though nothing is wrong with you call to MessageBox, but there may be. Also, if it does show up when placed in main, then thre is a no problem with your messagebox, but rather with when the message box is called.

Hi,
I need MesssageBox to show up when i click
on IDPRESS.

[Brent.tc]

Ok... did you try putting it in main to see if there are problems with messagebox, or if you just screwed up somewhere else... I asume you are using Dev-C++ -- I will try to compile&run your code.

[kv79]

What woud i gain if i put MEssageBox it in the Win main if i do that ,than that woud't be what i want.

[Brent.tc]

No... but you will be able to see if there is a problem with the MessageBox function, or if the problem lies elsewhere... When I say "put it in main", I don't mean "Put it in main PERMANENTLY", but rather, just as a temporary thing to help find your problem.

[Brent.tc]

The reason you are not seeing your message box is because you are using the wrong Windows Procedure
You need to use the ToolDlgProc that you have created... this handles messages sent from your child window.
First add this switch to the switch(Message) inside of ToolDlgProc
switch(LOWORD(wParam))
then inside of that swith is where you will need your code for handling IDPRESS
You will simply need to add a case for IDPRESS (and whatever else you want) to the switch found in ToolDlgProc
Also

LRESULT CALLBACK ToolDlgProc(HWND hwnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
   //Whatever
   switch(Message)
   {
      //Whatever other cases
      case WM_COMMAND:
         switch(LOWORD(wParam))
         {
             //Whatever other cases
             case IDPRESS:
                 MessageBox(NULL,"TOO","bre",MB_OK  | MB_ICONINFORMATION);
              break;
           //Default case and such
       }
   }
}
/*
The above is just a general idea, it should, but may not work.
