Hello.. I created a custom Dialog Box that has a message and 2 buttons
typically to the a quit message The "Yes" message is closing the application but the "No" button instead to close the Dialog Box is either closing the app. Now this is the code:

C++
#include <windows.h>
#include <commctrl.h>
#include <cstdio>
#include <mmsystem.h>
#include "resources.h"

#define IDC_STATUS  50
#define ID_SYES     51
#define ID_SNO      52

///////////////////////
LRESULT CALLBACK MainWndProc(HWND, UINT, WPARAM, LPARAM);

//HWND
HWND hMainWindow, hClose, hStaticClose, hStaticYes, hStaticNo, hStaticGroup;

HCURSOR gauntlet = (HCURSOR)LoadImage(GetModuleHandle(NULL),
                    MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDC_SWORD), IMAGE_CURSOR, 32, 32, 0);
//HBITMAP
HBITMAP hBckground;
//Close window (Dialog Box) loop

{
    switch(msg)
    {

        {
        case ID_SYES:
            {
                DestroyWindow(hWnd);
                break;
            }
        case ID_SNO:
            {
                EnableWindow(hMainWindow, true);
                SendMessage((HWND)hClose, WM_CLOSE, 0, 0);

Does anyone has the idea how to do that ? Probably some of you will ask why didn't I just use a system dialog box.. Just because I have a custom cursor and when I pass over a dialog box it change to the default one in the system.
Thank you !

What I have tried:

I tried to send message to the window that holds the dialog and all other controls on
ID_SNO is pressed, but instead pressing the No button close the hole aplication.

Got it.. deleted the WM_Destroy case and the SendMessage((HWND)hClose, WM_CLOSE, 0, 0); from the case ID_SNO and added PostQuitMessage(0); to the case ID_SYES

Works fine thanks..
