But instead what I get is an infinite loop. Somehow, the hiding and

The idea of using mosemove to hide/show a window is from an attempt to
simulate menus in some other code, but anyway I can't figure out why

is stationary. If you comment out either of the ShowWindow() calls,
there will be no infinite loop.

I'm hoping someone here has better knowledge than me about WinAPI
before I reach for MSDN forums.

I wouldn't think too much about it, the Windows GUI does a lot of weird

I'm trying to use a minimal subset of the API (ironically, to avoid
winapi bugs) for experimenting with Cairo. It's nice having the
boilerplate of features already implemented such as clipped drawing
and moving windows relative to their parent instead of relative to the
screen.
