    Next time post code right here, and at least try to compile it! I get 18 errors just trying to compile your file. Your code is also very hard to read, so I can’t really say what happens where. You are mixing chars with wchars_t thus you can have memory corruption. char Buffer[Length() + 1]; shouldn’t even compile! What compiler are you using? For dynamic allocation you MUST use pointers and new keyword, you can’t use array subscript for dynamic size.

    Anyway I maybe know where the problem lies – you’re missing TranslateMessage before DispatchMessage. That bugs whole message thing and you of course can’t get correct messages.
