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 :(

This is a very handy function :)

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()

kbnow?? blah I suck at this.. what do you mean by that?? ;\

I think he just meant 'know'..:)
although I'm not saying I know..

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
