Looping

[tbohon]

In my never-ending quest for knowledge I've started back a ways in MASM32-land trying to fully understand the basics - I was getting ahead of myself and failing miserably.

Anyway I took the example below (which I've modified with additional MessageBoxes) but when it runs the original MessageBox disappears when my 2nd one comes up and the app ends when I close that one.  How would I keep the app running until I click the window close ('x') button?  I'd thought about using a flag but rapidly got into trouble there as well so thought I'd come here to the gurus.

Thanks in advance for not laughing me off the net ...  :bg

This would loop until you click abort... ?
If you mean the close button (X) on the window itself you have that disabled.
