ReOpen window from main window. - c++

I have the main window open. It was created for me using visual studio. What I am attempting to do is have a main screen with 9 to 12 buttons. These buttons will then open up other windows. I am attempting with one button currently the "InventoryBtn". The inventory window open up and I am able to close it. The second time I try to open the window I get an error. It seems the window is already registered and cant be recreated. What am I doing incorrectly? I stepped thru it and aw that "Destroy:" is being called. The second time I try to show the inventory window the handle is uninitialized.

How to set up a dialog box that allows users to input data?

I am doing a school project and i want to set it up so when the user presses a button a dialog box pops up and allows users to input data. How should I implement this? I use resedit if that matters.

WM_DEVICECHANGE lParam is null

I want to detect the insertion and removing of any USB drive in my computer. I am not experienced in Windows GUI programming, and usually use Qt, but I had to use the Win32 API this time.
The problem is that lParam is always null.
I read that I need to use RegisterDeviceNotification(), but I used it and even with DEVICE_NOTIFY_ALL_INTERFACE_CLASSES, lParam is always null, however the function succeeds.
This is my code. Most of it I took from a Win32 app template from Visual Studio 2015:
#define MAX_LOADSTRING 100
HINSTANCE hInst; // current instance
WCHAR szTitle[MAX_LOADSTRING]; // The title bar text
WCHAR szWindowClass[MAX_LOADSTRING]; // the main window class name

You need to check wParam first and then figure out what to expect from lParam (it can be NULL in some situations). Also there is a break missing after case.

C++ Winapi Listbox string with space ends up in new line

Quick question, if I create a ListBox and add a string with a space in it to the listbox, the listbox ends up pretty messy because everything after the space will be added into the next line. In this case shown below it's even worse, because the full amount of numbers is not added to the listbox due to this problem. Is it a problem caused by the converting process of a string to a char? How can i prevent it from happening?
Here is the code i use for the Listbox and the adding Process:
case WM_CREATE:
{
LBTest = CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE
, L"LISTBOX",NULL
, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_VSCROLL| LBS_NOTIFY
, 7, 7, 300, 600
, hWnd, (HMENU)19, hInst, NULL);
std::wstring str,str2=L"Item Number ";
std::wstringstream ss;
for (int l = 0; l < 210; l++)
{
ss <<str2<< std::to_wstring(l);
ss >> str;
int pos = SendMessage(LBTest, LB_ADDSTRING, 0, (LPARAM)str.c_str());
SendMessage(LBTest, LB_SETITEMDATA, pos, (LPARAM)l);
}
break;
}

system-wide hook not run outside main program

I writing Hook Mouse system-wide (when mouse over any components in screen, Handle, classname, wndproc of it will display in my program).
But system-wide hook in my program not run when move mouse outside main program
I create DLL file successfully, but dont understand why it ONLY run as local hook (it run good in local my program - SCREEN AREA of my program).
This is source of hookDLL.cpp (DLL file):

Anyone can help me.
Last EDIT : corrected code.
The DLL is loaded, by Windows, in other processes, if they have the same bitness as your main process (and if they get the mouse). Consequence: the global hWnd variable in your Dll is always NULL and PostMessage fails.
Advices:
1 Always check the API's return code. You should have noticed that PostMessage failed.
2 When you are about to PostMessage in your DLL, if you see a NULL hWnd, use FindWindow to get the HWND and store it in hWnd for next time.
New version of the MouseProc DLL CallBack:
EXPORT LRESULT CALLBACK MouseProc(int nCode, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
if ( nCode >= 0 ) {
PMOUSEHOOKSTRUCT pmhs = reinterpret_cast<PMOUSEHOOKSTRUCT>( lParam );
if ( hWnd == NULL ) hWnd = FindWindow( L"WIN32_ICZELION_HOOK", NULL );
if ( hWnd ) PostMessage(hWnd, WM_MOUSEHOOK, (WPARAM)pmhs->hwnd, 0);
}
return CallNextHookEx(0, nCode, wParam, lParam);
}
EDIT: make sure you run your progam (EXE) from a folder where the DLL has been rebuild). Create an empty solution (SLN) and add the 2 projects in it (vcxproj). Delete all "old" EXE and DLL. Rebuild.
EDIT added ScreenShot:
The EXE showing the class name of the Explorer folder bar
When DLL is loaded from another program (when you mouse over outside main program), hWnd is NULL, so you have to use FindWindow to get hWnd value of main program before PostMessage.

How do I create a second window within a callback procedure? Win32

I'm trying to create a second window if a dialog box from my first window returns a certain way. Unfortunately, if I call CreateWindowEx() from within the callback process of the first window, it doesn't recognise the second window's HWND. I also tried defining the first window in WinMain and making it visible within the callback, but it failed to recognise the HWND once again. Am I trying to do this wrong, or am I just missing something?
