   Nope, nope and nope.   
      
   Nope #1: You can say that, but as you have not tried to explain, let alone   
   support it its meaningless.   
      
   As long as you do not explain, let alone suport that stance of yours tits   
   meaningless.   
      
   Nope #2: You're mistaken. I did get a control ID  form my dialog (as you   
   /could/ have read in a previous message), it just always is Zero.   
      
   Nope #3: You lack imagination and/or knowledge.  GWL_ID is not the only   
   index there you know.   And than you have the possibility of super- or   
   subclassing ofcourse.   
      
   So, do you want to try again ?   
      
   > You asked me for MS originated documentation. That is what I gave you.   
      
   No, I didn't and no, you didn't.   
      
   I asked you for documenation *that would support* your POV, /preferrably/   
   from MS.   You than came up with something you had to interpret to make it   
   sound as if it did.   
      
   I countered that.  But instead of explaining/supporting your interpretation   
   and/or pointing out the flaw in mine you just repeated it.  I'm sorry, but   
   that doesn't work for me.   
      
   Also, I gave you a counter example, one you have not even tried to address,   
   let alone counter.  That also doesn't work for me.   
      
   > Now you are putting words in my mouth.   
      
   As that document doesn't explicitily support your POV and you didn't try to   
   explain how it does, what did you think would happen ?   
      
   Also, you could have addressed it and set the record straight.  Why didn't   
   you ?   
      
   > I am not responsible for your failures to get or set the control ID which   
   > you wanted.   
      
   You're quite a piece of work. :-)   We where talking about the NM_NOTIFY   
   message in relation to Dialogs, and suddenly I'm holding you responsible for   
   what I can('t) to with the contol ID ?  How did you figure that ?   
      
   ... or is this just you putting words into my mouth ?
