I only receive it when i press the alt button on my form. eh.... any ideas why?

EDIT***
it only delays it's action when it's a messagebox(); that's called for some reason... when i press alt it shows them. using 0 or the window's hwnd in the first parameter has no effect whatsoever.

EDIT***
also is there another way to keep the window open besides running a constant loop? this eats up 98% of my processor. And how would i get my rich text box to have a border? i tried |ing WS_BORDER but it doesn't work. :(
