>>>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.

Joe, the following code works for me (VB6.0):

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_DLGFRAME = &H400000
Private Const WS_MAXIMIZEBOX = &H10000
Private Const WS_MINIMIZEBOX = &H20000
Private Const GWL_STYLE = (-16)

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim Style As Long
    Dim HasMax, HasMin, HasTitleBar, HasBorder As Boolean
    Style = GetWindowLong(hwnd, GWL_STYLE)
    HasMax = (Style And WS_MAXIMIZEBOX) = WS_MAXIMIZEBOX
    HasMin = (Style And WS_MINIMIZEBOX) = WS_MINIMIZEBOX
    HasTitleBar = (Style And WS_CAPTION) = WS_CAPTION
    HasBorder = (Style And (WS_BORDER Or WS_DLGFRAME)) <> 0
    Debug.Print HasMax, HasMin, HasTitleBar, HasBorder
End Sub
