switch(Message) {
case WM_CREATE:
bAbout = CreateWindowEx(
NULL,
"button",
"About",
WS_BORDER | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | BS_PUSHBUTTON,
W/3, H/3,
100, 30,
hwnd, NULL,
ghInstance,
NULL);
break;
case WM_CLOSE:
DestroyWindow(hwnd);
break;
case WM_DESTROY:
PostQuitMessage(0);
break;
default:
return DefWindowProc(hwnd, Message, wParam, lParam);
}

Do yourself a favor...
learn about the basics of the win32 api. Know about messages and roughly how stuff works.

Then move on to a cross-platform widget api.

It's good to know how the win32 api works, but nobody will ever create a gui with just it.

Sorry, I didn't want to sound harsh. I'm tired ^^

A WM_COMMAND message is posted.

The wParam or lParam contains the id of the control (button) that was clicked. Not sure which one it was exactly.

EDIT: Just looked it up, the lower word of the wParam contains the control id.
