What do I put in "GetDlgItem()" when initializing CListbox - listbox

Question

Hi all I was hoping you'd help me.
I have a form, mainForm.h, with a listbox(among other things). I'd like to add an item to the listbox from another file. I declared the CListbox but don't know what to use inside the GetDlgItem(/In Here/) because I don't know my listbox's ID.
Here's how I initialized it the listbox in the other CPP file to call "actionLogBox":
clistBox* actionLogBox = dynamic_cast<CListBox*>(GetDlgItem(/*No IDea what to put here*/));
Here is my mainForm.h with the listbox called "actionLogBox":
#pragma once
# include "stdafx.h"
# include "addBase.h"
# include "serial.h"
#include "base_station.h"
