>>>Is it possible to query a window to determine if it has been set as a top most window? I.e. if SetWindowPos() is used to set a window as top most ( HWND_TOPMOST ), is there an API function to query that window to determine if it is a top most window?

>>You don't mean that you want the current foreground window (GetForegroundWindow), right? You can test if a window is a child window (IsChild), or loop through the windows like I do with the Is_Run function. That retrieves the handles of parent windows (top most) only.

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.

Hi Bill,

Just to clear up what may be some confusion about my other post. When I referenced the help window as being owned by VFP, I didn't mean that the window was owned by the VFP window. I think, however, that it is owned by the VFP process that causes it to shutdown. Sorry for the confusion.
