How to display a message once the buttom is pressed>>??

Assuming that you know when the button is clicked you could just do this:

int MessageBox(
  NULL,          // handle of owner window
  "Hello",     // address of text in message box
  "Hello box",  // address of title of message box
  MB_OK          // style of message box
);


there are lots of other settings you can use like changing the window style to modal, putting in a standard system icon etc.

Just look up MessageBox on MSDN

A slight corrections to gotenks' code.  BN_CLICKED will show up in the HIWORD of wParam, not the loword.  So if all you care about is clicks, you'd do:

case WM_COMMAND:
        if (HIWORD(wParam) == BN_CLICKED)
        {
              MessageBox(hwnd, "Hello", "Hello Message", MB_OK);
        }


To make sure the correct button was clicked:
case WM_COMMAND:
     switch(HIWORD(wParam))
     {
          case BN_CLICKED:
               switch(LOWORD(wParam))
               {
                    case IDC_MYBUTTON:
                         DoStuff();
                         break;
               }
               break;
     }

and so forth...
