Reading about WM_NOTIFY Message :
The standard Microsoft Windows controls (edit controls, combo boxes, list
boxes, buttons, scroll bars, and static controls) do not send WM_NOTIFY
messages. To determine if a common control will send a WM_NOTIFY message
and, if it will, which notification codes it will send, see the
documentation for the control.

Seems there are "standard Microsoft Windows controls" and "common controls"

Are they in different .DLL's?

Thanks

Yes.  The standard controls are in user32.dll, while the common controls are
in comctl32.dll

That was true prior to Windows XP. However, if you use XP style themes, then
all controls are taken from the common control dll. I haven't done any
programming explicitly for Vista, but I am guessing that something similar
applies there too.

A common mistake of experienced programmers who are new to Windows is to
apply common sense inappropriately.  They must learn to apply Windows sense
instead.
