The Windows SDK also masks SendMessage calls under different function names to make it easier for you to use, so I would recomend always including those.

while(1) { // your loop if(PeekMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0, NULL) { if(msg.message == WM_QUIT) break; // that's how you actually quit // otherwise, pass the message along TranslateMessage(&msg); DispatchMessage(&msg); } // end checking for messages // do your game stuff that needs to be done // on a frame to frame basis here} // end while loop// and your shutdown code goes hereI hope that helped

if(PeekMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE) {That PM_REMOVE saves you the call to GetMessage(). I don't know if it makes any of a performance difference though.

I don't know because, to quit, I use the
PostQuitMessage function. Will it be
processed if I don't use the Win32 message
functions? Will the game quit? Is there any
other way to do it so I don't need to use
these functions?
If WM_NCDESTROY, which is a system destroy of a window, is never handled, Windows may not release some data structures associated with your Window.
So if you create any windows in your program (which you probably are) you must handle messages.
