The good thing about Win32Lib is that you don't have to worry about this
(low-level) details. If you want to place a button in a window, the
properties likes WS_ and BS_ are automagically added, thus creating a
PushButton. An example

-- suppose you have a window called "TheWindow"
-- create a button in TheWindow
global constant OK = create(PushButton,        -- the kind of control
                                          "OK",                 -- the text
on the control
                                          TheWindow,        -- the 'parent'
of the control
                                          8,                       --
distance from left of parent
                                          16,                     --
distance from top of parent
                                          90,                     -- width
of the control
                                          30,                     -- height
of the control
                                          0)                       --
additional attributes
The last parameter is not used in general. If it is used, it should contain
a sequence of attributes that 'replace' the default WS_ and BS_. So don't
bother with that for the time being.
In general, I recommend you to try and read and execute the example files
that come with Win32Lib. Also, there is the EUWinTutor by Wolfgang Fritz &
others:

And you know, don't hesitate to ask further questions.
