DISCUSSION

The CreateWindowFromResource function loads a window from a 'wind' resource. The Window Manager creates the window invisibly and places it at the front of the window list. After calling CreateWindowFromResource, you should set any desired associated data—using Window Manager or Control Manager accessor functions—then call the function TransitionWindow to display the window.
