Hello,

I'm writing an application that looks like the paintbrush program
from Microsoft: a main window with a drawing area and some buttons/
controls on each side of this area.

My problem is: I want to have some controls : buttons/listboxes etc
in my main window that can directly be selected by the user.

I used a modeless dialog box that I positioned next to my drawing area
but this is highlighted every time you switch from the graphics area to 
the dialog box.
My questions are:

-1- Can I place a button/list box inside my main window (e.g. with 
    the CreateWindow call)
-2- Can I define these controls in a resource or must they be declared
    in the program itself.
-3- Is there a way to bypass the  highlighting with my modeless dialog
    box inside the main window.

Thanks in advance,

					             Dick Bakker
