 Sample: Example of Creating a Custom Control Class

Summary:

The SPINCUBE sample demonstrates how to create a custom
control class that can be accessed by applications as well
as the Dialog Editor.

More Information:

SPINCUBE.DLL contains the control window procedure and the
interface functions required by the Dialog Editor (see
SPINCUBE.C), as well as the control paint routines (see
PAINT.C). SPINTEST.EXE is a small test program that loads
SPINCUBE.DLL and creates a few of the custom controls.

To test SPINCUBE with the Dialog Editor:

1.Start the editor. From the File menu, choose Open Custom.

2.Enter the path and filename of SPINCUBE.DLL.

3.Create a new dialog box and choose a custom control
  button from the control palette (lower-right corner).

4.Click the dialog box to create a SPINCUBE control.

5.Save the dialog box template.

6.Inspect the .DLG file that was created.

The following is a list of the Win32 API functions used in
this sample:
