Missing events for Window(surface) creation/release

[ghost]

It seems as there is no way to get notified of the window creation/destruction.
I'm using glutin and the events are based on the winit events.
I need a way to create hw resources when the window is created, and do some cleanup before destroy.

To be more clear: on windows is there any way to get events/handle/notifictions of the WM_CREATE and WM_CLOSE os events?
(WM_DESTROY which triggers the Closed Event is too late for me)

Thanks

WM_CLOSE is reported as Closed, but WM_CREATE isn't available unfortunately.

Only WM__DESTROY is handled which is called after the window's been closed.

pub unsafe extern "system" fn callback(window: winapi::HWND, msg: winapi::UINT,
                                       wparam: winapi::WPARAM, lparam: winapi::LPARAM)
                                       -> winapi::LRESULT
{
    match msg {
        winapi::WM_DESTROY => { 
...

MSDN:
Sent when a window is being destroyed. It is sent to the window procedure of the window being destroyed after the window is removed from the screen.

By this time the GL context is released by the OS. But please correct me if I'm wrong. ex see
