I of course I did google for these things, but found the explanations puzzling; not coming from a Windows background, I figured there was some hidden knowledge that I could pick up from this group; the WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW one sort of makes sense, but I did not see why being a window that contains other controls should exclude a window from the alt-TAB list; after all, for example, Web browsers contain other controls, such as text boxes, etc. > The "spyxx.exe" tool can be used to poke around the window list to >find these things. looks like that is not a free tool, apparently bundled with Microsoft Visual C++, so I guess I can not try that for now. -- Benjamin Rutt _______________________________________________ Python-win32 mailing list Python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
