    Resizing controls on a dialog

    I have a dialog that is created from a definition in a resource file with a call to CreateDialog. It has a resizing border, and only one control - a Treeview control that takes up the entire window. I know that I need to handle WM_SIZE when the window gets resized and tell the Treeview control that it needs to change its size as well, but I'm missing two critical pieces of information. I can't figure out how to get a handle to the Treeview control (I communicate with it using SendDlgItemMessage()), and I can't figure out what message to send it once I have its handle. How do I do this?
    Away.

    I'll just point you at a tutorial that does the same thing except it's using a edit control, but everything else is exactly the same.

    First, try GetDlgItem() and pass in the tree view ID. Otherwise, you have to enumerate all controls in the window.

    Ah, there we go. GetDlgItem() was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
