>>Once you have the handle to a window. What API can you use to get additional attributes about that window. I have GetClassName and GetWindowText they work great. I need to know additional info like does it have a border, min, max, close, titlebar and is it sizable ... etc.

If there is actually a .NET framework answer to this I am all
ears...

I have the window handle I am getting the consts from my
c++ header winuser.h. No matter what window I check I
always get the following;
1 max true
2 min False
3 HasBorder False
4 titlebar False

I have included the declaration and the functions below. I realize the code is VB.NET however I hope you can look past that and see if anything stands out in my application of GetWindowLong.

Private Declare Function GetWindowLong Lib "user32" 
Alias "GetWindowLongA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal nIndex 
As Long) As Long
    Private Const WS_BORDER = &H800000
    Private Const WS_CAPTION = &HC00000                  
    Private Const WS_MAXIMIZEBOX = &H10000
    Private Const WS_MINIMIZEBOX = &H20000
    Private Const GWL_STYLE = (-16)

        Friend Function HasMax(ByVal hwnd As Long) As Boolean
        Dim Style As Long
        Style = GetWindowLong(hwnd, GWL_STYLE)
        If ((Style And WS_MAXIMIZEBOX) = WS_MAXIMIZEBOX) = True Then
            HasMax = True
        Else
            HasMax = False
        End If
    End Function

    Friend Function HasMin(ByVal hwnd As Long) As Boolean
        Dim Style As Long
        Style = GetWindowLong(hwnd, GWL_STYLE)
        If ((Style And WS_MINIMIZEBOX) = WS_MINIMIZEBOX) = True Then
            HasMin = True
        Else
            HasMin = False
        End If
    End Function

    Friend Function HasTitleBar(ByVal hwnd As Long) As Boolean
        Dim Style As Long
        Style = GetWindowLong(hwnd, GWL_STYLE)
        If ((Style And WS_DLGFRAME) = WS_DLGFRAME = True) Then
            HasTitleBar = True
        Else
            HasTitleBar = False
        End If
    End Function

    Friend Function HasBorder(ByVal hwnd As Long) As Boolean
        Dim Style As Long
        Style = GetWindowLong(hwnd, GWL_STYLE)
        If ((Style And WS_BORDER) = WS_BORDER = True) Then
            HasBorder = True
        Else
            HasBorder = False
        End If
    End Function
