Handling Fatal Errors in WM_CREATE

[endemoniada]

Hi guys,

I'm doing something like this:

WM_CREATE:
if(!initialize()){
// fatal error
// MessageBox(...);
// here I should terminate the program
}

What's the best way to handle something like that ?

Thanks.

According to MSDN in this case your procedure has to return -1 to destroy the window and case the CreateWindowEx or CreateWindow function returns a NULL handle.
