CreateWindow for VB
Download (3.5k) VB source here!
This is
basically a VB translation of the HelloWin program in Petzold's
book Programming Windows 95. While most programmers will
certainly find it more convenient to use forms, there are times
when a low overhead, simple window, is necessary. This example
should help you get started with using the CreateWIndowEX() API
from VB when building controls, subclassing, etc...
