Then what is the function CreateWindow in User32.dll for (for all non-Windows developers: this is the WinAPI function to create a control on Windows; it returns a handle to it)? > http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms632679.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms63...

The vast majority of controls on any Windows screen in 2014 is created with CreateWindow calls with that parameter set to some value that was added on by RegisterWindowClass though. I still agree with you that it's silly to say that Windows hardly has 'native' controls.
