Did I misunderstand the orginal question? I didn't know it was talking
WSAAsyncSelect function. If you were using that funcrion you'd use
WinMain as normally done. 

I thought Patrick was wanting use Win32lib's event looping but without
having a main window under Win32lib's control.

As Patrick doesn't want to use Win32lib , then the code inside win32lib.ew
eventLoop() routine could be extracted and adjusted for his purposes.
