Thanks Simon that worked!

FYI, future readers the answer is that those two parameters are
message specific and for wm_close they don't do anything.  Probably
just search for your message on MSDN to find out what the parameters
are for other messages:

WM_CLOSE Notification

The WM_CLOSE message is sent as a signal that a window or an
application should terminate.

A window receives this message through its WindowProc function.

Syntax

WM_CLOSE

    WPARAM wParam
    LPARAM lParam;

Parameters

    wParam
        This parameter is not used.
    lParam
        This parameter is not used.

Return Value

    If an application processes this message, it should return zero.
