Hi,

the main problem is that a MathLink program spend its live
while waiting for a evaluation request form the Mathematica
kernel. A MS_Windows program spend its live while waiting for
event (messages) of the window system. To make a true GUI
application you must write a multi thread program. One thread
that is waiting for windows messages one thread that handle the
packets from Mathematicas kernel. The management of the threads 
is up to you and you may look to the output code that is produced
by mprep to see how the comunication is managed by MathLink.

The simplest thing is to create  a  second thread that calls 
MLMain() instead of calling MLMain() in the WinMain() function.

Hope that helps
  Jens
