how do I put a button on a UI element?

Hi all,

I'm inexperienced in Windows programming so please bear with me

I'm trying to create a very simple UI element (for default UI); let's say a window with a single button. I've looked at the sample ui_element.cpp code in the SDK, which uses CWindowImpl, but it's not clear to me how I can add child window controls like buttons to my UI element. I guess using CDialogImpl and specifying a dialog resource template kinda fits the bill, but I'm not looking for a separate "pop-up" dialog, I want the controls to be part of the UI element.

Can anyone point me in the right direction here?

Many thanks in advance!
