How to change the GUI of the application?

c, user-interface, winapi

Solution

This is called "skinning".

See this article for example: (Flipcode)

All you have to do is to create the `HBITMAP` object (load it from Resource or from File) and the use the `SelectObject` to choose it as a background.

Problem

Possible Duplicate: How to Skin an Win32 Application I'm trying to learn to design a application, but I'm stuck. For a example, how would I code/get this kind GUI ( Background image, navigation, the engineering icon in the up left corner, styled minimize and quit icons ... etc ) in C/Win32API as represented on that picture? Thanks.
