I use Visual C's resource editor to edit res.rc, but then I compile
that with cygwin's windres.

The chooser (choose.cc) dialog is a different mess altogether.  I use
VC to lay out the dialog, but chooser.cc adds a custom window at the
same location it finds the IDC_LISTVIEW_POS control (i.e. that control
is just a template).  The entire operation of that custom window is
handled within choose.cc.
