chopping it up :)

[rtf]

ok heres the problem im not using mfc but am using the wizard to create a basic app then trying to edit it in ms vc++

i have messed arounf with the code and am trying to get 1 window with no menus and a usable main window so i can add check boxes and form elecments..... i know c++ fairly well and thought i get to grips with vc++....

heres the code which must have loads and loads of errors, it compiles though but just hangs...

oh i have all the files including a resource file with the form that im trying to incvlude, basically im trying to get used to the way things work but no matter how much ive messed with this it the form either disapears or the app doesnt do anything.....

thanks for any input.... i have done a couple of tutorials but i cant find any which explain how to draw things in the middle of the window like a button which does something to a text field.....

BTW you usually don't add controls to the main window. You use dialogs for that.
