Look at the MessageBox function.  I think it will do exactly what 
you want.  My old SDK documentation says this:

  "This function creates and displays a window that contains an
  application supplied message and caption, plus any combination
  of the predefined icons and push buttons described in the 
  following list."

You can use this to display a window with a one line message and
and OK button.

Basicly replace your 'debugwin(buf);' with -
  MessageBox ( hWndParent, (LPSTR)buf, (LPSTR)"DEBUG", MB_OK );
