The next only difference, if I recall my Win32 SDK correctly, is one kind 
must end with EndDialog() and the other ends with something else. So then 
you need extra code in the dialog to call either kind.

There's simply no way to under-emphasize this point: Many of our GUIs' 
conveniences are false, and we need to adapt our style to TDD.

That extra work will include researching things that newb tutorials never 
cover, and will include switching some of our production functions from 
procedural to event-driven, just to accomodate testing.

The benefit is all the productivity boosts that TDD now gives to other 
programming layers.
