C++ CreateWindowEx() fails to create window - winapi

Question

I've starting watching the handmade hero videos and I'm trying to make a win32 window but the CreateWindowEx() function keeps failing.
I checked the error code and I get 1407.
Code is below.
Thanks in advance.
#include <Windows.h>
LRESULT CALLBACK WindowProcedure(
HWND hwnd,
UINT uMsg,
WPARAM wParam,
LPARAM lParam
)
{
LRESULT result;
switch (uMsg)
{
case WM_ACTIVATEAPP:
{
OutputDebugStringA("The window is now active");
break;
}
case WM_SIZE:
{
OutputDebugStringA("The window is now being resized");
break;
}
case WM_CREATE:
{
OutputDebugStringA("The window has been created");
break;
}
default:
{
result = DefWindowProc(hwnd, uMsg, wParam, lParam);
break;
}
}
return result;
};
int CALLBACK WinMain(
HINSTANCE hInstance,
HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPSTR lpCmdLine,
int nCmdShow
)
{
WNDCLASS GameWindow;
GameWindow.style = CS_OWNDC|CS_HREDRAW|CS_VREDRAW;
GameWindow.lpfnWndProc = WindowProcedure;
GameWindow.hInstance = hInstance;
// HICON hIcon;
GameWindow.lpszClassName = "HandmadeHeroWindowClass";
RegisterClass(&GameWindow);
if (HWND GameWindowHandle = CreateWindowEx(
0,
GameWindow.lpszClassName,
"Handmade Hero",
WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW | WS_VISIBLE,
CW_USEDEFAULT,
CW_USEDEFAULT,
CW_USEDEFAULT,
CW_USEDEFAULT,
0,
0,
hInstance,
0
))
{
for (;;)
{
MSG message;
BOOL messageResult = GetMessage(&message, GameWindowHandle, 0, 0);
if (messageResult != 0)
{
DispatchMessage(&message);
}
else if (messageResult == 0)
{
break;
}
else
{
// ERROR
}
}
}
else
{
OutputDebugStringA("Couldn't create window");
}
DWORD error = GetLastError();
return 0;
};

Answer 1

Your window procedure returns an uninitialized variable in every path except for default:, this is undefined behavior and failure of window creation is entirely possible.
For WM_CREATE, the documentation says:
If an application processes this message, it should return zero to continue creation of the window.
As Michael noted in the comments, RegisterClass is failing. Same category of mistake, you're passing a WNDCLASS structure leaving most members uninitialized.

Answer 2

Thanks to Remy Lebeau for the answer, the problem was that my WNDCLASS had uninitialized values for all fields except those I changed, this caused the RegisterClass() to fail and consequently the CreateWindowEx() to fail.
I changed WNDCLASS declaration to this:
WNDCLASS GameWindow = {0};
Thanks to everyone who helped.
