I assume you used a dialog template to create your dialog ?

Now, mostly all (if not all) controls you place on this template are NOT resources, but control windows. The button is not a resource; it is a window with "Button" class and a title it displays on it as it's caption. If you use an icon or a bitmapped button, then those resources are bound to the button: a window with a bound resource that is drawn to it.

So, once more: the dialog template is a resource, but the controls placed there are not. The template just specifies what controls are placed and where. The Framework will worry about creating these controls and placing them. Consider the template like a drawing plan.

If the captions of buttons have changed, it is possible to change them back by using GetDlgItem and specifying the ID as parameter. If you convert the return value to CButton*, you can use the 'SetWindowText' method of the class to set the button's caption.

Hope this helps. If it doesn't, I suggest you dig up the infamous 'Programming Windows' book by Charles Petzold. This should help you get started by first introducing you to the concept of resources: what and where they are and how they are used in a Windows environment.
