Can anybody rewrite lexikos's resizable frame to C++?

I have found this script made by lexikos:

(http://www.autohotke...angle/?p=186305)

can anybody to rewrite it to work in C++? I do not need complete application (I have one) but just the functions to start and end drawing. So I could install it. I am C/C++ newbie, using Visual Studio 2010.

What's is the particular part you are having issue rewriting?
The code is actually pretty straightforward.

No need for drawing... On Windows when you want to select some file or icons you can use a simple frame, just click and drag mouse pointer.

My question is how can I do it (using Visual Studio C++) to use such frame in a window? I have a window displaying a map. I would like to use this frame so mark certain area and to get the coordinates after I realease mouse button.

How is this function called and what library it is using?

I dont think the "select frame box" exists for actual windows. :/
Youll have to draw it manually, probably using GDI+ or something..
