Yeah, that's the handle to a dialog object, or thingie, since pp doesn;t really do objects. The thingie stores all information about the dialog, but an honest-to-god window doesn't come into existence til you do a create (and windows are also then created for each control, and for each tooltip). The windows have handles too (HWNDs); I need them to properly make tooltips and tie them to controls.
