Hmm, this is just a wild guess but couldn't it be that the WS_OVERLAPPED style applies only to the lower word of the windows style. Windows coming from 16bit DOS it wouldn't be surprising if the original windows style was 16 bit only as well. Either that or Spy++ has a bug, even though you trust it so much ;-).
