Well, a little more information is needed. Where do you want to create the button (in a standard window or a dialog)? Also, are you using the Win32 SDK or MFC?
In a standard window I think. I think Win32 SDK but I''m not sure on that either.

In the window procedure you use WM_CREATE

put in somethiung like

hButton = CreateWindow("button", "E&xit", WS_CHILD / BS_PUSHBUTTON, 600, 400, 100, 50, hWnd, MAKEINTRESOURCE(201), Instance, NULL);
ShowWindow(hButton, SW_SHOW);

hButton = HWND
after MAKEINTRESOURCE you put a number, like...hmmm.....before you #define the number with a BUTTON thing like

#define EXIT_BUTTON 201

and to check which button has been pressed use the WM_COMMAND and us ea switchstatement for the wParam......just check which number it is that has been ''pressed''....


Dance with me......
