   Hello all,   
      
   Maybe a bit of an esoteric problem, but one I would want to have solved   
   nonetheless:   
      
   I've got a program which puts up a settings dialog (using CreateDialog).   
   From this settings dialog I would like to send notifications (WM_NOTIFY) to   
   its parent.   
      
   The problem is, the NMHDR structure expects the "idFrom" field (the control   
   ID) to be filled in, and I can't find it (IDD_SETTINGS, as provided to the   
   CreateDialog call) stored anywhere. :-|   
      
   Question:   
      
   Is it stored anywhere in the dialog, and if so, where ?   
      
   Secondary question:   
      
   Will using SetWindowLong with the GWL_ID argument on a Dialog window create   
   any problems (does anything else use that field) ?   
      
   Regards,   
   Rudy Wieser
