Oh, I see. I have never dwelled into the matter myself so I cant really help.
I did however find this on FB's forum http://www.freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2861&p=21649&hilit=+fbgx#p21649
I'm unable to test the example myself as I dont have SDL installed. Check it out. It might help you.

You've asked a very broad question. What do you want your window to do? Do you want a basic container or something more feature-rich?

It looks like you have most of the functionality there already, with the buttons and start bar. In a Windows program, everything is a window -- buttons and input boxes are just subsets of windows. This makes sense, because they share many of the same properties: location, size, events, etc. So a "window" contains windows that contain windows, and so on. I'd suggest going with this approach. So a window would have the basic properties -- location, size -- and a list of sub-windows (buttons, input-boxes, more windows). When rendering, you cascade down this pyramid of windows.
