Today, you learned how you can use standard windows controls in a Visual C++ application.
You learned how to declare and attach variables to each of these controls and how
to synchronize the values between the controls and the variables. You also learned how
you can manipulate the controls by retrieving the control objects using their object ID
and how you can manipulate the control by treating it as a window. You also learned
how to specify the tab order of the controls on your application windows, thus enabling
you to control how users navigate your application windows. Finally, you learned how to
attach application functionality to the controls on your application window, triggering
various actions when the user interacts with various controls. As an added bonus, you
learned how you can run other Windows applications from your own application.
