CBHNDL same as hDlg?

[Egbert Zijlema]

Hi folks,

In one of my applications CBHNDL has the same value as hDlg (the one in "DIALOG NEW ........... TO hDlg").
Is this a coincidence? Or am I asking a VSQ? ( = very stupid question)

CBHNDL (in a CALLBACK function) returns the handle of the window that sent a message to the function. So if your program only has one dialog, then Yes, CBHNDL will always be the same as the hDlg that was returned by DIALOG NEW.

But if your program creates more than one dialog (or creates child windows) and you point them toward the same CALLBACK function, the CBHNDL value tells you which dialog sent the message to the function.

Does that help?
