ahhhh the benefits of copy/paste *S*
It was a roundabout trip through MSDN yesterday actually getting to that function to check the window style. It really seems to me that SetWindowPos should have a See also to GetWindowLong()
>Adding code to our posts are we?:-) Seriously, I knew about the SetWindowPos() parameter (actually used it back in FPW to keep a DOS window on top while PKZIP was runing under Win 3.1). I didn't know about being able to extract it using GetWindowLong (missed the WS_EX_TOPMOST flag from the call using GWL_EXSTYLE). Thanks for the info.
