Yes. Quoted further down, with URL.

In Microsoft's documentation, that is not what what a child window is.

<https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/winmsg/window-features#child-windows>

     Child Windows

     A child window has the WS_CHILD style and is confined to the
     client area of its parent window. An application typically
     uses child windows to divide the client area of a parent window
     into functional areas. You create a child window by specifying
     the WS_CHILD style in the CreateWindowEx function.


Microsoft's documentation for WM_NOTIFY

<https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/controls/wm-notify>

     Sent by a common control to its parent window when an event
     has occurred or the control requires some information.
