Sounds like you need to learn how to program Windows. If you're going to use
Win32Ada (which I do NOT recommend), then you should read a book like
Petzold. Claw contains a couple of tutorials that would help you get started
(in the Introductory version, use the tutorial in the Builder). I don't know
if there is anything for Windex.

To answer your questions specifically, the button is handled by handling the
WM_COMMAND message in the dialog box, usually for the "clicked"
notification.

To handle "Enter" in the edit control, you have to subclass the control.
That can be a bit tricky. Claw will do it for you if it is necessary; you
just have to override the When_Character action routine to detect an
<Enter>. I don't know if Windex will do it for you. For Win32, you better
get a book.

A reminder: the Claw Introductory Edition is free for evaluation and for
non-commercial use; download it from www.rrsoftware.com.

If you're confused by the terminology above, see my first suggestion.
