handling window in a window, vc++

Question

hi!
I wrote this code that test multiple windows. I actually need this for another program, but I'm trying to figure out how creating windows work. so in this code I created two windows, and in one of them I create another two. but when I run it, it keeps doing funny things. like when I do this -

MoveWindow(hwndChild[0], cxClient/2, cyClient/2, cxClient/2, cyClient/2, TRUE);

it actually shows a window the size I want it. and although I created two windows that have two windows in them, only one of them shows.
all the windows are do almost the same thing (it's not really that long), except wndproc1 that in addition, creates 2 windows within it.

the reason why I'm playing with this, is because in another program I did, a window I created, creates another window within itself, but for some reason, those windows are not created. if anyone understands why that happens, or/and where can I find more about it, I'd love to know.

thanks alot :)

thank you. I'll check It out. although I still can't figure out why it behaves the way it does. maybe if someone tried to execute this program, and explain to me what's going on.

you need to read that tutorial because there are several changes you have to make which it explains.
