You inherit the edit box, button, etc. class and alter the drawing.Also, a better site is CodeProject.com.   ;  by fullmode i believe you mean fullscreen mode.and yes. u would have to code you own gui system.although i believe it is possible to mix windows' gui andfullscreen opengl or directx i wouldn't recommend it.
