What's wrong with this code?

Code:
        format  pe gui 4.0
        entry   start
        include 'win32a.inc'

start:  invoke  GetModuleHandle,0
        invoke  DialogBoxParam,eax,101,0,MainDlgProc,eax
        invoke  ExitProcess,eax

MainDlgProc:
        cmp     dword[esp+0x08],\       ;ESP+0x08: DialogProc.uMsg.
                WM_INITDIALOG

        jz      .init

;***************************************;
        nop                             ;Try to (un)comment this.
;***************************************;

        xor     eax,eax                 ;Return 0.
        ret     0x10                    ;4 parameters * 4 bytes.

.init:  xor     eax,eax
        inc     eax                     ;Return 1.
        ret     0x10                    ;4 parameters * 4 bytes.


        data    import
        library kernel32,'KERNEL32.DLL',\
                user32,'USER32.DLL'
        include 'apia/kernel32.inc'
        include 'apia/user32.inc'
        end     data

        data    resource from 'res/main.res'
        end     data

The first thing i noticed is that your dialog has no handlers for closing the window. i had about one million problems when i didn't process the WM_CLOSE message.

also your not saving your esp to ebp.
and i believe the value for uMsg should be +0x0C not +0x08. +0x08 is your wParam.

i personally like ot copy the uMsg into eax then rum my checks then have the program smoothly run into my unhandled message processor.

I've removed that code when I searched for error.

Saving ESP to EBP (creating stack frame) is usually done to simplify access to local variables. I have no local variables, so…

Why? I'm addressing via esp, not ebp (and even when addressing via ebp [ebp+0x08] will be hWndDlg, not wParam!):
Code:
[esp+0x00] ;Return address.
[esp+0x04] ;1st parameter (hWndDlg).
[esp+0x08] ;2nd parameter (uMsg).
[esp+0x0c] ;3rd parameter (wParam).
[esp+0x10] ;4th parameter (lParam).

Thanks, I know how to write good-style WindowProc's and DialogProc's.

But the question was: why my code doesn't work, when nop is uncommented? On WinXP DialogProc returns 0xffffffff (and GetLastError reports, that class was not found), on Win98 it causes divide error in USER.EXE. Why? Smile

[added] Hmm… I've placed dialog resource into separate section and now it works ok. But why? Surprised

your program works occasionally
you do not restore stack before leaving window proc:
should be:

leave
ret 0x10

(do not mess with ret macro in procedure defined with proc macro)
regards!
======
i was wrong: you did not made frame - then i do not know Wink
======
add 2: the thing is aligning - after added "align 32" before import and resources everything start to work with nop and without (32 - i do not know exact needed aligning for such data - can be less then 32)
regards!

i still use 1.64 (a while). your example with aligning works in 1.64 - i tested. maybe "data" macro in 1.65 has aligning inside - just do not know yet.

regards!

Sorry about the confused post i was kind of tired. i only scanned it anc compared it to a disasembly of one of my programs the 0x0C is correct when you push ebp onto the stack like i did :/

AFAIK resources must be aligned to some fixed value. You were just lucky once, beacuse without nop the alignment was ok. This one byte 0x90 crashed the program.
