Adding a Listview in VC++ resources is easy as you just add an IDC_DIALOG in resources and visually add/draw your desired controls.

However in DGDK the main window is automatically drawn by DGDK, so how can I manually add a Listview to the the DGDK Window?

Uh, I bet it is, you might need to use the globstruct or whatever header to get the handle.

I think you need to sub class.

Can I use the CreateWindow() function and set the lpClassName parameter to Listbox ?

All I want to do is create a simple listbox, populate it with the available screen resolutions, let the user select the proper resolution and then read the selected resolution when the user presses the launch game button.

anyone managed to make something similar and can post some little bits of code?

if you had visual studio, that would be easy, because you can make a form which then launches your gdk program. in express it may be harder. if there was a way to add args to a gdk program startup it would be easier jsut to get VB express and do it in there, but im not sure if there is.

I don't think that you can. It's pre-compiled into the library for the GDK.

i know that you cannot get rid of the main gdk window.

so the only solution is to ATTACH a listbox TO the gdk window.

if anyone managed to do this, and hints, code or information would be greatly appreciated

Sephnroth wrote a brilliant tutorial for VS2003, I think that everything said is still valid for VS2008:

Menu's and Dialogs - DarkSDK Tutorial
(Note: The project template is for VS2003, I've opened it straight with VS2005... everything works, just replace 'DarkSDK' with 'DarkGDK' and 'LoopSDK' with 'LoopGDK')

Probably it should have come a sticky thread by the time it was published, uh

Try "release mode".
DGDK doesn't work (at all/well) in DEBUG mode...
