    error 1421: "control ID not found"

    I have a dialog box with two listbox controls. Both of them display disk directories and function well (with one exception. I can move from drive to drive, directory to directory perfectly.

    Now, the exception. As I move down the list, clicking each item once with the mouse, if I click on the 9th item, the dialog closes and returns me to the main screen. I can scroll down with the arrow key and have no problems. I can click on any item (1 through 8) and (10 through the end of the list) without issue.

    I placed a function in to return getLastError and it says the procedures last error was 1421. After searching, I found that 1421 means Control ID Not Found.

    Any ideas what I may have done to cause this?

    Here is the code from the .rc file:

    Code:
    IDD_FILE_XFER DIALOGEX 50, 40, 516, 401
    STYLE DS_ABSALIGN | DS_LOCALEDIT | DS_SETFONT | DS_SETFOREGROUND | WS_POPUP | 
        WS_CAPTION | WS_THICKFRAME
    EXSTYLE WS_EX_TOPMOST | WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW | WS_EX_APPWINDOW
    CAPTION "Marine ICE File Transfer"
    FONT 8, "MS Shell Dlg", 0, 0, 0x0
    BEGIN
        PUSHBUTTON      "E&xit",IDCLOSE,229,239,54,30
        PUSHBUTTON      "==>>",IDC_EXPORT,229,124,54,30
        RADIOBUTTON     "Copy",IDC_RAD_COPY,229,27,54,34,BS_PUSHLIKE
        RADIOBUTTON     "Move",IDC_RAD_MOVE,229,66,54,34,BS_PUSHLIKE
        LISTBOX         IDC_DRIVES_LIST1,7,14,132,25,LBS_SORT | 
                        LBS_NOINTEGRALHEIGHT | WS_VSCROLL | WS_TABSTOP
        PUSHBUTTON      "Delete",IDC_DELETE,229,179,54,45
        LISTBOX         IDC_DRIVES_LIST2,377,14,132,25,LBS_SORT | 
                        LBS_NOINTEGRALHEIGHT | WS_VSCROLL | WS_TABSTOP
        LTEXT           "",IDC_DRIVE1_FILENAME,7,7,132,8
        LTEXT           "",IDC_DRIVE2_FILENAME,377,7,132,8
        LISTBOX         IDC_FILES_LIST2,377,39,132,236,LBS_SORT | 
                        LBS_NOINTEGRALHEIGHT | LBS_DISABLENOSCROLL | LBS_NOSEL | 
                        WS_VSCROLL | WS_TABSTOP
        LISTBOX         IDC_FILES_LIST1,7,39,132,236,LBS_SORT | LBS_NOINTEGRALHEIGHT | 
                        WS_VSCROLL | WS_TABSTOP
    END
    I call the dialog with this:
    Code:
    					DialogBox( g_hInst, MAKEINTRESOURCE( IDD_FILE_XFER ), 
    							hwndDlg, ( DLGPROC )XferDlgProc );
    the procedure "XferDlgProc " is lengthy but I can post it if needed.

    I would appreciate any hints. It has me stumped at this point.

    I found it. I had left out a '}' and the compiler didn't catch it. I guess I should be more precise. Thanks for you interest.

    Do not cast callback functions, though.
    DialogBox( g_hInst, MAKEINTRESOURCE( IDD_FILE_XFER ),
    hwndDlg, ( DLGPROC )XferDlgProc );
