the shape of window and the position of buttons

You need to create a resource. Create a Dialog resource. In the order, their default IDs are: IDD_DIALOG1, IDD_DIALOG2... (You can click on the window in the editor and check the Properties tab).
In your inclusion file (stdafx.h or main.cpp depending on your programming style) you also need to include a new header you will find in the Solution Explorer. Then, when calling DialogBoxParam, you need to pass MAKEINTRESOURCE( /* Dialog ID Here */ ) as the id.

Note that Visual C++ Express editions don't support resource editing; you've got to pay for that!

Or use a separate resource editor. e.g. ResEdit

ResEdit is a resource editor for Windows programs. The original purpose was to help C++ developers to create resource scripts. Now it can also be used to modify any resource in PE files (exe, dll, ...) and compiled resource scripts (res files).
