Well, I know how to create a GUI with the whole dialog resource spiel and would like to move on to CreateWindow. However, how does one sanely create an app with many windows using CreateWindow AND most importantly get the coordinates and stuff for each checkbox/menu. I honestly think the coordinate stuff is the killer. I have no idea where to start wiht that. I'm sure there has to be an easier way and to retain win32 speed.

ResEdit

ResEdit only works for resources. I'm talking about actual windows, not dialogs. I already have resedit.

Could you explain how to use it? I never could figure it out. Thank you for your time and help.

How do you add checkboxes and stuff to it though?

The same way you add anything else

I don't know how to add anything else.. I can only add like menus and dialogs and stuff.

exactly, create a dialog.

Yeah, but I'm trying to get away from dialogs. I already know how to make them. I want to learn how to code with CreateWindow since it is more versatile.

Thanks both of you. Ill use ResEdit for the coordinates and planning, and will actually code the thing on my own, with the help of the template.
