Hello there,

I'm trying to add native Win32 Controls using the API directly. (for example, a win32 button)

I tried this code:

(Sorry, I don't remember the code very well, as I'm not in my computer right now)

And yes, a button appeared ONCE.

Is there way to keep it showing? (By updating it in each frame maybe? IDK..)

Actually, I wanted to embed an MSIE ActiveX control to the window. But I think I must start from something basic.


Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated

I'd suggest you refer to this post: http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=159750&b=22

A quite thorough tutorial on the subject.

Erm yeah, but I've read it once, and it uses a bit advanced method in handling Windows messages. As I don't need it that far, and I'm not that expert in Win32 API programming, maybe I just need a name of a function that keeps the controls appearing while drawing time?

It's not that advanced, really. Just go through it one step at a time and it literally does the work for you on the way through.

Besides, you'll need to make a message handler at some point if you want the buttons to have any functionality.
