Creating a button from a resource file

38 New Member
Hello everyone,

I know how to create a Button using CreateWindow() and then passing in the correct arguements, but I want to create a button from a resource file.

Inside my resource file there is this:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. CONTROL "Select Emblem",IDC_TXTEMBLEM,"Static",0x50000000,6,59,48,8
I also have this:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. #define IDC_EMBLEMR 20000
Now, how would I go about adding this to my Win32 Form? It compiles fine but no button shows up in that position.

Any assistance is appreciated.
