lookup the CreateWindowEx API :-)...

Are talking about a toolbar type window? If so use the WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW in the style parm of the CreatWindowEx function. You can then attach a toolbar and/or menus to it.

From the Win32 api help:

Creates a tool window; that is, a window intended to be used as a floating toolbar. A tool window has a title bar that is shorter than a normal title bar, and the window title is drawn using a smaller font. A tool window does not appear in the taskbar or in the dialog that appears when the user presses ALT+TAB.

For the editor window you will have to create a modeless dialog window and attach your edit field to the dialog. Dialogs require a dialog procedure to handle messages. You also have to explicitly destroy the dialog when the application shuts down using DestroyWindow.

I am not really sure what you are asking for, but maybe this will get you started.

^_^ Right, I didn't want to go into any of the windows GUI via FB... Doesn't matter, I figured how to do what I wanted...

Code:

SHELL "Editor.exe"

SCREEN (Whatever)
'Code for menu...

This calls a editor to work in, then returns to the code for the menu... ^_^ hehe.. (@ Mystik): Guess this sorta tips what my new ASCII editor's lay out will be like.. ^_-
