Hi,
The reason I am asking is that I was thinking that it may be possible that
the bits may help us figure out the characteristics of a window if we don't
get enough information in the normal window information-gathering
functions.

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.

Hi,
I've been wondering about this. 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.
