Adding buttons.....

That works fine Vlatko, except I can't see my main window now! :D

Where did you put this code:

Code:

---

DialogBox(NULL, (LPCTSTR)IDD_DIALOG1, NULL, (DLGPROC)About);

---

In WM_CREATE

Code:

---

The WM_CREATE message is sent when an application requests that a window be created by calling the CreateWindowEx or CreateWindow function. The window procedure of the new window receives this message after the window is created, but before the window becomes visible. The message is sent before the CreateWindowEx or CreateWindow function returns.

---

Try putting the code in the WM_SHOWWINDOW event (not sure).

Houston we have a problem....I added the following:

Code:

---

case WM_SHOWWINDOW:
                {
            DialogBox(NULL, (LPCTSTR)IDD_DIALOG1, NULL, (DLGPROC)About);
                        return 0;
                }break;

And got the following errors:
