In order to add controls to your windows, you need to edit the resource
file. There's a good tutorial on windows programming at www.winprog.org .
I f you are completely new to C/C++, maybe it's not such a good idea to
start with Windows programming right away. You should first learn the basics
using console, and then start with Windows.
