    Arrow Window vs. Dialog

    What is the difference between a window and a dialog... except you use a dialog resources to create dialogs?

    Dialogues are windows that are created internally by the CreateDialogParam function. They're created, then the child windows (controls) are created according to the template.

    Basically, for things like options dialogues, use a dialogue, but for the main window of most programs you use a window.

    See, it even works with common parlance

    Dialogues are much easier to use than windows created with CreateWindow and the app isn't any slower (like with MFC) so it is a good thing to use them.
