You are putting _window style_ values (WS_CHILD and WS_VISIBLE) in a WNDCLASS element which should get only _class style_ values.

Use WS_CHILD and WS_VISIBLE when you call CreateWindow().

Ouch! Maybe it was just a little too late when I wrote that :)

I am using now
mWindowClass.style = CS_OWNDC | CS_NOCLOSE | CS_DBLCLKS;
Is that a suitable selection of attributes?

Thanks for your answer.

Whether these are appropriate depends upon how you want the window to behave.

Read the documentation on MSDN (the page for WNDCLASS will have a link to a page with a description of the various class styles) and decide which modifies the behavior of your window in the way that you want.
