this piece of code in the window procedure isn't working:
case WM_KEYDOWN:
switch(wParam)
{
case VK_UP:
MessageBox(NULL, L"key up", L"", MB_OK);
break;
default:
break;
}
I press the arrow up key but the MessageBox isn't being called. What am I missing?

Your message pump is not correctly formed. You're doing something for modeless dialogs (a window created via CreateDialog), but you have no such window type in your app. Hence, some of your messages are getting swallowed by the IsDialogMessage function.
So instead of this:
while (GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0))
{
if (!IsDialogMessage(hWnd, &msg))
{
TranslateMessage(&msg);
DispatchMessage(&msg);
}
}
This:
while (GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0))
{
TranslateMessage(&msg);
DispatchMessage(&msg);
}
When I changed your code to that, the message box would appear.
