Your message loop should be like:

while (GetMessage(&Msg,NULL,0,0)){
    if (!TranslateAccelerator(hwnd,hAccelTable,&Msg)){
        if ((!IsWindow(hwnd)) || (!IsDialogMessage(hwnd,&Msg))){
                                                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                                                process dialog messages
            TranslateMessage(&Msg);
            DispatchMessage(&Msg);
        }
    }
}


IsDialogMessage:
The IsDialogMessage function determines whether a message is intended
for the specified dialog box and, if it is, processes the message.
