• curprev 21:4921:49, 18 July 2023‎ Premitive talk contribs‎ 4,992 bytes +3‎ Adjusted the code. According to the documentation of GetMessage: "If the function retrieves a message other than WM_QUIT, the return value is nonzero. If the function retrieves the WM_QUIT message, the return value is zero. If there is an error, the return value is -1." So GetMessage is allowed to return a negative value (other than -1) when it retrieves a non-WM_QUIT message. (Currently GetMessage doesn't actually do that, however, it is still better to follow the documentation) undo
