DialogProc function Return INT_PTR while the WinMain which return the DialogProc "must return int."

I think I must find a way to convert from IntPtr to int safely ..

// in WinMain
return DialogBox(hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(DLG_MAIN), NULL, (DLGPROC)DialogProc);

1. Assign the DialogBox return value to an (INT_PTR) variable (say result).
2. Based on result value, return an appropriate (int) number from the WinMain function.
