DialogBox / GetLastError

I am trying to create an application that is dialog-based. I use the dialog
editor to create a window. Then in my code I call DialogBox.

DialogBox ( hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(main_menu), 0 , (DLGPROC)DlgMain);

GetLastError();

GetLastError returns 1408 - Invalid window; it belongs to other thread.
ERROR_WINDOW_OF_OTHER_THREAD

What is going on here? I want to use the Dialog box as a main window.

Thanks.

What is "main_menu" identifier ? You have to use resource identifier of your
dialog.

Does DialogBox actually set an error? GetLastError only returns the value
*last* set, which was not necessarily set in DialogBox.

main_menu is the name of the dialog menu that I created. ( The name of the
resource )
