Thread: creating a button

Ok so now I have a start. I created a radio button (even though i want a push button), but I can't figure out how to make it open a MessageBox when clicked.

Code:

        CreateWindowEx(NULL, "BUTTON", "", WS_VISIBLE,
            150, 150, 50,50,hwnd, (HMENU)IDC_MAIN_EDIT, g_hInst, NULL);

It's not moving the button to where I want, or making it the correct height/width. I also don't know how to link to the MessageBox. Is that first NULL correct? What should be placed there?

That winprog.org site was a lot of help too, thanks.

This creates a floating window with a button in it, not a radio button.

If you truly read through winprog.org you wouldn't have to ask such spoon-feeding questions. Sit down, read it section-by-section from top to bottom, then see how helpful it really is.

Who says either of them are a lie? Quit nitpicking my ignorance. Just because I said the site was a lot of help doesn't mean it helped me accomplish something. It helped me understand how stuff works.
