Drawing with Pens and Painting with Brushes
Like a painter, you will need pens and brushes to create artwork on your canvas. When you call Canvas::Line or Canvas::Rectangle, Windows uses the currently attached pen to draw the lines and the currently attached brush to fill the insides of the shapes.

Window Controls for Windows
Controls can be added to the main Window or to any dialog box in your program. Controls are best picked and positioned using a graphical resource editor. Such an editor will also let you pick names or symbolic id's for your controls. You will then use these id's to identify the controls in your program.
