1. Win32 controls
My question isn't very Euphoria-specific (actually it's kinda C-oriented),
but I figured some of you might be able to help anyway.
The problem is as follows: How do I place controls (push-/radiobuttons,
checkboxes, groupboxes etc.) on an applications' main window (NOT on a
dialog window) ?
Are main-window controls possible to create in the resource file or do I
have to create them at run-time ?
Some short sample code would be nice...

Are you using "C" or Euphoria to do the program ?
What do you mean by "main-window controls possible to create in the
resource file" ?
If you are using Euphoria download my W32API20.ZIP file from the
Euphoria site It will show you how to use Euphoria to do "C" windows
programming be sure you read all the documents and comments. In demo 3
there is an example of using owner-draw buttons. Controls are actually
child windows of the parent window. If you set a contol's parent to
the main window it will appear on that window.

I am using C. Could as well be using assembly though, it's basically the
same.

This is a simple example of a (non-modal) dialog created in a resource file:
Crappy_dialog DIALOG DISCARDABLE 10, 10, 140, 150
STYLE WS_POPUP | WS_SYSMENU | WS_CAPTION | DS_MODALFRAME
CAPTION "Crappy dialog"
FONT 8, "MS Sans Serif"
{
CTEXT "Push the button", 999, 18, 10, 80, 12
PUSHBUTTON "&Push me!", IDCANCEL, 18, 25, 75, 15
}
I was wondering if it's possible to create controls as in the above example
but "outside" of a dialog-block, so that the controls would end up in the
application's main window instead of a dialog window.
I hope my explanations are understandable.

include win32lib.ew
constant
-- CAPTION "Crappy dialog window"
MyWindow =
create( Window, "This is a window ", 0, Default, Default, 400, 300, 0 ),
-- "Push the button", 999, 18, 10, 80, 12 ( increased height and width some
)
MyCtext =
create( CText, "Push the button", MyWindow, 18, 10, 150, 15, 0 ),

MyButton = -- "&Push me!", IDCANCEL, 18, 25, 75, 15
create( PushButton, "&Push me!", MyWindow, 18, 25, 75, 15, 0 )
-- FONT 8, "MS Sans Serif"

setFont( MyButton, "MS Sans Serif", 8, Bold )
-- hand control over to Windows
WinMain( MyWindow, Normal )
