Frame? Are they in c++?

[MK4554]

Hey,

As i'm sure anyone who has been reading my posts, i'm trying to learn win32 GUI's. Before i started c++ i used to work in vb which indead was easy really easy infact to make GUI's i almost not know how to do everything i did then in GUI's but theres one thing i really miss Frames! i don't know if thats what you would called them in GUI's but in vb thats what they were called basicly what they were was a sqware box that you can but round opbject quite simple but i really miss them ( see attched picture to see what i meen )

I have look on the forum and the web via google and even on msn for frame but i get every thing but what i want, so i was wondering if any of you nice great programmers that are way better then me knows how to create them? i would think you would have to load a libary (dll) to do it

Thanks,

They're called group boxes and are specialised button controls. You can create one with the CreateWindowEx api function by specifying the BS_GROUPBOX window style. You can also use the GROUPBOX command within a resource script (see Resource definition statemements).

Trivia: before I figured out what these were called in the Win32 API (so that means five or six years), I used to construct them out of two statics, one for the text and one with the SS_ETCHEDFRAME style.
