That's StyleBits, the result of the GetWindowStyleBits function. There are some bits that have fairly universal meaning across all windows, but there are also bits that have specific meanings based on what window class you're dealing with. For example, the WS_Visible bit is pretty standard for all windows, but ES_MultiLine is a bit that only applies to edit controls. Some of the bit constants can be found in winuser.h in any Windows development platform containing it or something equivalent, but styles for specific window types are sometimes hard to find in my experience, there being so many window types out there.

When you go into Home Row Mode and press F3 to cycle through things to exampne, one of them is Bits. What is that and how would you use it in scripting? Thanks.
