    Getting state of Dialog objects

    How can I get the state of check/radio boxes in dialogs???
    I know I can use GetDlgItemText() (i think) for the caption/text, but I dunno what to use for the state.

    Also, does anyone know a good site with tutorials on how to use controls in win32 programming??

    Thanks

    EDIT: Almost forgot, I have a small dialog based app. The dialog was created using the resource editor. How can I set the Min/Max/Current Value for a Progress Bar control?? I was thinking about SendMessage but I don't know how to get the hWnd of the Bar... Please Help

    Thanks, that really helped.
    One thing though... how can I get like, the hwnd of a progress bar created in a resource??? Otherwise I can't use SendMessage() to edit it...

    Thanks for the help

    You kbnow the resource ID assigned by the resource editor (IDC_PROGRESS.....or whatever it is), then just use GetDlgItem()

    Hmm.. I tried:

    SendMessage(GetDlgItem(hWnd,IDPB),PBM_SETPOS,0,50) ;

    but it doesn't seem to work :<.. help a newbie with this basic stuff and he'll never bother you again

    I dont prefer to nest API calls like that.......Assign GetDlgItem to a HWND and check if its NULL before sending the message
