Or are these terms used to refer to the same thing?
I’m trying to implement some custom buttons showing a bitmap image, into my Win32 app. One tutorial indicates I should be creating child windows using CreateWindow().
However, I have downloaded a bunch of source code from another tutorial on creating “child controls”, and no reference is made to CreateWindow() (other than the one that creates the main/parent window).
Can anyone help with what a button is classed as? A control or a Window?
Every control is a window, but not every window is a control. Controls have a parent and are usually one of the window classes that are appropriate in that context, such as a Button.
