Button Press C++ Function

[horrificmonster]

Hello - I'm trying to write a program that executes a function on a button press. My code compiles and runs properly, but when the button is pushed, nothing happens.

Here is my code:

		case WM_COMMAND:
		    {
                switch(LOWORD(wParam))
                {
                case NEWCUSTBOOKING:
                    {
                        int rundbc();
                     }
                break;
                }
        break;
		    }

I hope I'm not missing something obvious!

Ugh, yes I was. I'm declaring the function, not calling it. Ignore me!

because i dont see this happen to much, good job op! a lot of new users will delete the post. you a) left it up, and b) provided the solution to your issue. i know this might not seem major, but it could easily help someone. doing what you did is also a very good habit

Why didn't you just add your buttons id to your MESSAGE_MAP and assign an event to fire on the ON_BN_CLICKED message being sent to your window/dialog class? You don't need to re-invent the wheel here.

@ajh32, not all people use MFC to have a MESSAGE_MAP :)

I just started learning the Win32 API, I like to try to start low level to understand what the other libraries are doing under the hood. Plus, I'm not to familiar with how I would even use the MFC.
