Fastest method to enumerate the child controls in a CDialog

Question

What's the best way to list all the controls that may be on a CDialog based form? The only method I've seen so far is EnumChildWindows() but this involves call backs. Is there no faster way to do this?

Callback will hardly affect the performance. What can affect the performance is your code within the callback. I think you can use EnumChildWindows without any issues.

Do you reckon that's faster than say GetNextWindow? – snowdude Jul 11 '12 at 15:53
Yep, I think this is the quickest way. Using GetTickCount for some very basic time tests on dialogs with 35 items it's not even registering. – snowdude Jul 11 '12 at 16:11
