   I know.  Why do you think I said "for all intents and purposes" ?   
      
   > Microsoft's documentation for WM_NOTIFY

   Absolutily true.   
      
   The problem is that you read that as an exclusion of everything else.  I   
   don't.   
      
   I have a counter example :

   Common dialog boxes use messages to notify your window procedure or hook   
   procedure when certain events occur.

   By the way: I really hate it that MS talks about "windows" regardless of if   
   they are used as controls or ... whats the name for a window thats used to   
   place controls on ?  You know, the equivalent of a Dialog. The ambiguity of   
   that word makes it quite hard to be certain what their own documentation is   
   actually talking about. :-(
