Instructions

Use the CreateWindow function to create a button control.

In the following C++ example, the m_hwnd parameter is the handle to the parent window. The BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON style specifies that a default push button should be created. Note that the size and position values must be specified because using CW_USEDEFAULT for a button sets the values to zero.

HWND hwndButton = CreateWindow( 
    L"BUTTON",  // Predefined class; Unicode assumed 
    L"OK",      // Button text 
    WS_TABSTOP | WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD | BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON,  // Styles 
    10,         // x position 
    10,         // y position 
    100,        // Button width
    100,        // Button height
    m_hwnd,     // Parent window
    NULL,       // No menu.
    (HINSTANCE)GetWindowLongPtr(m_hwnd, GWLP_HINSTANCE), 
    NULL);      // Pointer not needed.
