Just for the record it is clearly more complex than that. I guess since Microsoft wrote it we can trust Spy++ a little. I have seen spy++ declare that a "tooltips" class window (style 0x84800000/00000088) has style WS_OVERLAPPED whereas a "tooltips_class32" class window (style 0x84800003/00000088) doesn't. Bill
