I know.  Why do you think I said "for all intents and purposes" ?

Absolutily true.

The problem is that you read that as an exclusion of everything else.  I 
don't.

I have a counter example :

Common dialog boxes use messages to notify your window procedure or hook

By the way: I really hate it that MS talks about "windows" regardless of if 
they are used as controls or ... whats the name for a window thats used to 
place controls on ?  You know, the equivalent of a Dialog. The ambiguity of 
that word makes it quite hard to be certain what their own documentation is 
actually talking about. :-(
