I'm trying to make a little window pop up before the main program starts so the user can select what resolution they want.

At first I thought I'd use a simple Windows window, with a dropdown box. I fiddled with that for a few minutes before I remembered why I hate Windows programming. DarkGDK is so simple, I forget how convoluted and complicated the Windows API is.

Is there a quick and dirty way to do this?

No, you must use windows API

Windows API is very good when you know how to use it though

If you have a limited number of resolutions that you'll support then the tactic I'd take would be to create a screen with a list of the resolutions on it and a set of radio buttons next to them. That should be relatively easy to implement and it could have the same theming as the rest of your program.

I usually just start the GDK program as an 800x600 window with all the possible resolutions, and the user clicks one and the program changes to that res before continuing.
