When you click the close button, a message (I'm not sure which - 
possibly WM_CLOSE) is sent to the window. DefWndProc takes that message 
and asks to close the window. This, in turn, sends WM_DESTROY to the 
window. That's all that happens in Windows. If you want your application 
to quit at that stage, you have to manually trap WM_DESTROY and call 
PostQuitMessage. I found that out the hard way.

As a bare minimum, each and every application must handle the following 
event:
It's main window being closed with WM_DESTROY (usually by calling 
PostQuitMessage).
The window session it's in quiting WM_ENDSESSION (the application will 
NOT receive WM_DESTROY in that case).
Paint requests WM_PAIN (no, defwndproc doesn't do beginpaint and 
endpaint, and if noone else does that, they queue up).

Each and every application must handle all of the above cases, or things 
go wrong. Not handling WM_DESTROY, for example, causes your app to 
continue running after all of its windows have closed.
