Multiple Windows

[Wak]

I can't figure out a way to show two or more windows at the same time. If I use the CreateWindow(...) function then I get errors, and I can't distinguish between the controls and messages for each window, and if I use Dialog Resources, then once I invoke one of them, it waits for it to close before it invokes the next...

Is there any special way to do this?? I only want 2 windows to be shown and active at the same time....

You can distinguish. If you use different window procedures then it's easy. If you use the same one, then the hWnd argument will change.

Is it possible to use dialog resources, and have them both show at the same time???

Also while i'm hear, is it possible to set the background of a dialog resource to a picture without code??

Dialogues: Yes, use CreateDialog rather than DialogBox (you need a DlgProc rather than a WndProc, there are a few subtle differences).

Picture: No idea, seriously doubt it though.

Picture: not without code. But you could add a static control that displays an image and spans the whole background, then put it all the way back in the Z-order.

You still need code to load the picture and assign it to the static though.
