Hi, netters:
    I am a new Windows programmer. When I tried to put a MessageBox into
a DialogBox, I encountered a problem. Following the book "Programming Windows
3.1" by Charles Petzold (p.443), I used the handle of the DialogBox as the 
first parameter of MessageBox so that the program looks like:

BOOL FAR PASCAL AboutProc (HWND hDlg, UINT message, ...)
{
...
     case IDD_MESSAGE: 
         MessageBox(hDlg, szText, szTitle, MB_OK);
	 break;
...
} 

It was compiled without any error message.  However, when the message box
was popped up, it was hung there and would not close when I clicked "OK"
button, so I have to reboot the machine. Can anybody help me out?

Thanks in advance.

- Fang
