To attach data to *any* window, not just a modal or modeless dialog,
you can use SetProp().  You give it a window handle and a value, which
can be the data itself if it's just a number, or the handle to the 
data.  To get the handle, just call GetProp().  I've used this 
technique extensively since Windows 1.03.
