      You seem to be right: "Sent by a common control to its parent   
   window when an event has occurred in the control or the control   
   requires some kind of information." (MSDN)   
      
      I'm not sure I've ever used that message. The only code I   
   can think of where it appears is with a RichEdit. I have to   
   watch for WM_NOTIFY in the subclass of the parent window   
   in order to get the EN_SELCHANGE RichEdit event, to know   
   when the selection has changed. The RichEdit sends the   
   WM_NOTIFY to the parent window, as MS says.   
      
       Since you haven't explained exactly what you're trying   
   to accomplish, this is all academic. Without context and   
   details it sounds like you're trying to send messages within   
   your own program, like a son writing a letter to his mother   
   and sending it through the mail, when you could use something   
   like an event or function, since you're writing both the parent   
   window and the child window.
