- There *is* no difference. A dialog box is simply a window that uses a
- pre-defined window procedure that Microsoft wrote for you. CreateDialog,
- etc, actually creates all the controls via calls to "CreateWindow",
- exactly as you could do yourself.

- Certainly it is, yes. The easy way is just to have an "IsDlgMessage" line
- in your main message loop. This will give your window the standard dialog
- keyboard interface (TAB moving between controls, etc).
