Thread: Adding buttons, edit boxes, etc to the window

I am new to windows programming and I am trying to turn a console program I made (an IRC bot) into a windows32 program so I can have it minimize to the system tray and take advantage of asynchronous sockets. This is the first windows program I have attempted to make so sorry if there are a lot of things that you see wrong with it. So far this is what I have:

Main.cpp

Code:

#include <windows.h>
#include <shellapi.h>

#include "Resource.h"

const char g_szClassName[] = "Windows App";
NOTIFYICONDATA minimized;

LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND window, UINT message, WPARAM wparam, LPARAM lparam)
{
    POINT pt;
    HMENU hPopupMenu = CreatePopupMenu();
    AppendMenu(hPopupMenu, MF_STRING, IDMI_RESTORE, "Restore");
    AppendMenu(hPopupMenu, MF_STRING, IDMI_CLOSE, "Exit");

    switch(message)
    {
        case PUGBOT_SOCKET_MSG:
        {
            if (WSAGETSELECTERROR(lparam))
            {
                // ERROR
            }

            switch(WSAGETSELECTEVENT(lparam))
            {
                case FD_READ:
                {
                }
                break;

                case FD_WRITE:
                {
                }
                break;

                case FD_CONNECT:
                {
                }
                break;

                case FD_ACCEPT:
                {
                }
                break;
            }
        }
        break;

My first questions is how does one use a resource file to add buttons, edit boxes, static text to the main window? I can create them in the "case WM_CREATE:" section of the code but is it possible to do it in the resource.rc file to make the code look cleaner and how would I do this?

I have been using http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/ tutorials but it only goes over how to create dialog boxes. I do not want to create the dialogs (buttons/text edits) in a whole new seperate window I want to create it on the main window.

Thank you for your help.
