Whats defrent between using a dlgbox as main or using windows that we make by WindowCreatex ?
Try comparing \masm32\examples\exampl01\oldstyle to \masm32\examples\dialogs\simple. A dialog is generally easier to code, particularly if it is a modal dialog where the system dialog box manager provides the message loop.
So its ok if i use a dialogbox as my main, there is no limit for me?
For small simple applications I would use a dialog. With a dialog you can do at least most things that you can do with a normal application window, but for some things the additional code required for the dialog will eliminate the advantage of using a dialog.
My problem is im using RadAsm as editor, is there any way for using that visual abilities in designing forms for Windows apps too? or i can only use them in dialogboxes?
hmm i dunno if its right that i asked this here :toothy

No problem in asking but you will need someone who is familiar with RadAsm. Basics hold true however you code it, a dialog is fine for simple interface requirements but you can do more with a CreateWindowEx()/WndProc() but at the expense of more work.

You can create a child dialog box,and then add it into your window. ::)
