There *is* no difference.  A dialog box is simply a window that uses a
pre-defined window procedure that Microsoft wrote for you.  CreateDialog,
etc, actually creates all the controls via calls to "CreateWindow", 
exactly as you could do yourself.

Certainly it is, yes.  The easy way is just to have an "IsDlgMessage" line
in your main message loop.  This will give your window the standard dialog
keyboard interface (TAB moving between controls, etc).
