Hey there,
    I am having another problem with ListBox initialization, this time in a
Dialog Box. All I need to know is when the Listbox is attached to a window
handle when it's created by a dialog box.

    Thank you for the help

In OnInitDialog (WM_INITDIALOG), during the call to the base CDialog::OnInitDialog.  After that call you can work with it in your own OnInitDialog.

     At the same time that all your other dialog controls are attached to
their member variables; namely, during OnInitDialog, when your OnInitDialog
handler calls the base class's OnInitDialog.  So any code to initialize a
control--for example, adding the initial set of strings to a listbox--should
generally be in OnInitDialog, after the call to the base class's OnInitDialog.

Handle your initialization in OnInitDialog. That is the first time you
are guaranteed that controls actually exist.
