accelerators

i am very confused.

i know that i am using the correct functions and such but my accelerators do not work. i am using Dev-C++ to compile and edit. my source files look like this:

main.cpp

Code:

#include <windows.h>
#include "resources.h"
#include "main.h"

LRESULT CALLBACK MainWndProc(HWND hWnd, UINT Msg,
                             WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam);


INT WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInst,
				   LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
	MSG   Msg;
	char *ClsName = "Win32OOP";
	char *WndName = "Object-Oriented Win32 Programming";

	// Initialize the application class
	WApplication WApplication(hInstance, ClsName, MainWndProc, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_MENU));
	WApplication.Register();

	// Create the main window
	WWindow Wnd;
    Wnd.Create(hInstance, ClsName, WndName, NULL, WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW);
	// Display the main winow
    HACCEL hAccel = LoadAccelerators(hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_MENU));
    Wnd.Show(SW_SHOWNORMAL, hInstance);
	
	while ( GetMessage(&Msg, NULL, 0, 0))
{
        if (!TranslateAccelerator(Wnd.operator HWND(), hAccel, &Msg))
            TranslateMessage(&Msg);
            
            DispatchMessage(&Msg);
          
    }
    return 0;
}

LRESULT CALLBACK MainWndProc(HWND hWnd, UINT Msg,
                             WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
	switch(Msg)
	{
               case WM_COMMAND:{
                    switch(wParam){
                                   case CMD_FILE_EXIT:{
                                        PostQuitMessage(WM_QUIT);
                                        }break;
                                   case CMD_FILE_OPEN:{
                                        MessageBox(NULL, "hello", "hello", MB_ICONERROR|MB_OK);
                                        }break;
                         }
               }break;
	case WM_DESTROY:{
		PostQuitMessage(WM_QUIT);
    }break;
    
		return 0;
	}

	return DefWindowProc(hWnd, Msg, wParam, lParam);
}

resources.rc

Code:

IDC_MYCURSOR CURSOR DISCARDABLE "golden.cur"

IDR_MENU MENU DISCARDABLE
BEGIN
     POPUP "&File"
           BEGIN
           MENUITEM "&New", CMD_FILE_NEW
           MENUITEM "&Open...", CMD_FILE_OPEN
           MENUITEM SEPARATOR

END

IDR_MENU ACCELERATORS DISCARDABLE
BEGIN

END

any ideas? thanks in advance.
