I was writing a reply, when something tickled my brain.

I already tried reading the dialogs GWL_ID value, and got the value zero 
back.   Checking the result of the "GetLastError" call also showed a zero. 
I take that as meaning a success.

... but than (now) I checked the result of a *Set*WindowLong with the GWL_ID 
argument (which I should have thought of earlier).

It, and a subsequent "GetLastError", returned the value 1401, which seems to 
mean "Invalid menu handle".

IOW, a (my) dialog window *doesn't* seem to have a "window ID" that can be 
set. :-(

Alas.
