Hi George,

It's not the specific foreground window I'm looking for but whether a window has been set as HWND_TOPMOST, i.e. above all non-topmost windows. I am looping thru the windows now ( this is in VB ... horrors :-) ) and I'm having to change my logic to make sure I hit all the windows and wanted to test to see if a window was set "topmost". As it turns out, because of the problem I was encountering ( yesterday ) and the solution I will implement ( today ), I won't need to test for this in my new solution. But now it's a matter of principle :-) and for future reference.

Bill
