In fact, if you want to avoid providing an identification for a control, you may have to use

the Win32 API’s CreateWindow() or CreateWindowEx() function to create the control.

We saw that the identifier can be created either using the Properties window, using the

Resources Symbols dialog box, using the String Table, or when dynamically creating the

control. We also saw how to declare or add a control variable for an MFC control.
