If the function succeeds, the return value is the identifier of the control.

If the function fails, the return value is zero. An invalid value for the <i>hwndCtl</i> parameter, for example, will cause the function to fail. To get extended error information, call <a href="/windows/desktop/api/errhandlingapi/nf-errhandlingapi-getlasterror">GetLastError</a>.

## -remarks

<b>GetDlgCtrlID</b> accepts child window handles as well as handles of controls in dialog boxes. An application sets the identifier for a child window when it creates the window by assigning the identifier value to the <i>hmenu</i> parameter when calling the <a href="/windows/desktop/api/winuser/nf-winuser-createwindowa">CreateWindow</a> or <a href="/windows/desktop/api/winuser/nf-winuser-createwindowexa">CreateWindowEx</a> function.

Although <b>GetDlgCtrlID</b> may return a value if <i>hwndCtl</i> is a handle to a top-level window, top-level windows cannot have identifiers and such a return value is never valid.
