    Cool here...

    For edit box:

    CreateWindow(
    "edit",
    "Text",
    WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_BORDER,
    x_position,
    y_position,
    length,
    width,
    hWnd, // handle to main window
    (HMENU)1,
    hInst, // program's instance handler
    NULL
    );

    For a button:

    CreateWindow(
    "button",
    "Text",
    WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE,
    x_position,
    y_position,
    length,
    width,
    hWnd, // handle to main window
    (HMENU)1,
    hInst, // program's instance handler
    NULL
    );

    I hope this helps.

    Yes, SyntaxBubble is correct. All these controls you are using are simply windows (child windows, to be specific). They just look different. Good luck!
