    What is the difference between CreateWindow and CreateWindowEx? I know of the extra functionality provided by using the CreateWindowEx, but is their any difference in performance. Is my program missing out on any other speed or interaction functionality by using the older CreateWindow function?

      Calling CreateWindow will internally call CreateWindowEx. I confirmed this using Windbg.

        difference is,later function takes one extra parameter. Actually, CreateWindow is a macro, expanding to CreateWindowEx with NULL(no extended style) as first parameter. In effect you are using only one function.
