Awesomium WebView doesn't display page - c++

Question

I've made two simple classes to use for displaying UIs with Awesomium. However creating the Awesomium WebView and setting the parent window to my Win32 window causes the program to hang and the page is never displayed. The classes are simple and creating a window is simple so there isn't much I can think of that could be going wrong. Perhaps there is something else required than what I've done to display a WebView?
To clarify: Creating the Win32 window without creating the WebView works fine, the window functions including the drag code etc... The hang only happens when you call set_parent_window.

Have not used Awesomium but your GetMessage only pumps messages for the WebCore window. So instead you should pass NULL so your message pump dispatches messages for all windows created on that thread.
