You can either create buttons on the fly (meaning in the code) or you can make a template and call it, the way you code looks you are creating it in the code. Since this is a child window, it should probably go inside your main procedure code (WndProc most likely). Possibly under WM_CREATE (when a window is created, and you want to do specific things with the window, put code in the create section)
what this is doing:

    // returning a handle to a windowhDefPushbutton = CreateWindow(// this is the window class, "button" is a predefined class// _T() macro i don't remember, might be unicode_T("button"),// text to appear on the button_T("OK"),// bits to set about the window, child, visible and default buttonWS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON,// x coord to appear on screen100,// y coord to appear on screen200,// width of window30,// height of window15,// parent of window, of type HWNDhwnd,// menu of a window, for a button i would use NULL(HMENU) IDOK,// instance of the program, used if more than one is runninghinstance,// extra data u want to send alongNULL);  

if i'm being too basic, or not answering your question, respond and i'll try again

edit - } instead of ] *stupid sticky shift*
