A quick example:

First create a .rc file:

#include <windows.h>
#include "dmcdlg.h"

IDD_MAINDIALOG DIALOG 100, 100, 200, 80
STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | WS_POPUP | WS_VISIBLE | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU
CAPTION "dmcdlg"
BEGIN
    DEFPUSHBUTTON   "OK", IDOK, 150, 5, 40, 14
    PUSHBUTTON      "Add", IDC_ADD_BUTTON, 150, 25, 40, 14
    EDITTEXT        IDC_EDIT_1, 5,  5, 100, 12, ES_AUTOHSCROLL
    EDITTEXT        IDC_EDIT_2, 5, 22, 100, 12, ES_AUTOHSCROLL
    LTEXT           "Result", IDC_STATIC_1, 5, 39, 100, 12
END

And a headerfile:
#define	IDD_MAINDIALOG	100

#define IDC_ADD_BUTTON 1001
#define IDC_EDIT_1     1002
#define IDC_EDIT_2     1003
#define IDC_STATIC_1   1004

Then a .c file:
#include <windows.h>
#include "dmcdlg.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

BOOL CALLBACK DialogFunc(HWND aDlg, UINT aMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
   switch(aMsg)
   {
   case WM_INITDIALOG:
      return TRUE;
   case WM_COMMAND:
      switch(LOWORD(wParam))
      {
      case IDOK:
         EndDialog(aDlg, 1);
         return 1;
      case IDC_ADD_BUTTON:
         {
            int N1 = GetDlgItemInt(aDlg, IDC_EDIT_1, 0, TRUE);
            int N2 = GetDlgItemInt(aDlg, IDC_EDIT_2, 0, TRUE);
            char Text[128];
            sprintf(Text, "%d + %d = %d", N1, N2, N1 + N2);
            SetDlgItemText(aDlg, IDC_STATIC_1, Text);
         }
         break;
      }
      break;
   case WM_CLOSE:
      EndDialog(aDlg, 0);
      return TRUE;
   }
   return FALSE;
}

int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE aHinst, HINSTANCE aHinstPrev, LPSTR aCmdLine, int aCmdShow)
{
   WNDCLASS wc;

   memset(&wc, 0, sizeof(wc));
   wc.lpfnWndProc = DefDlgProc;
   wc.cbWndExtra = DLGWINDOWEXTRA;
   wc.hInstance = aHinst;
   wc.hCursor = LoadCursor(0, IDC_ARROW);
   wc.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH )(COLOR_WINDOW + 1);
   wc.lpszClassName = "dmcdlg";
   RegisterClass(&wc);

   return DialogBox(aHinst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_MAINDIALOG), 0, (DLGPROC )DialogFunc);
}

Then you can build it all with these commands:
dmc -c dmcdlg.c
rcc.exe -D__NT__ dmcdlg.rc
dmc -L/exet:nt/su:windows dmcdlg.obj dmcdlg.res

Forgot to tell; for this to work you have to name your files
dmcdlg.rc, dmcdlg.h and dmcdlg.c
