Subject: Re: SetWindowLong and GWL_HWNDPARENT
>"You must not call SetWindowLong with the GWL_HWNDPARENT index to change the (In)famous misleading statement. Almost as misleading as the choice of >parent of a child window. Instead, use the SetParent function. Instead, use >the SetParent function." GWL_HWNDPARENT as the name. It has nothing to do with a window's parent. It really changes the Owner, which (in VB5 or later) is exactly the same thing as including the Owner argument in the Show statement. A more accurate version might be.. "SetWindowLong with the GWL_HWNDPARENT will not change the parent of a child window. Instead, use the SetParent function. GWL_HWNDPARENT should have been called GWL_HWNDOWNER, but nobody noticed it until after a bazillion copies of the SDK had gone out. This is what happens when the the dev team lives on M&Ms and CocaCola for to long. Too bad. Live with it." <g> On Tue, 9 Nov 1999 13:40:31 -0500, "Bob" <b...@softchoice.com> wrote: -Tom >I found the following information on the MSDN website: >"You must not call SetWindowLong with the GWL_HWNDPARENT index to change the >Unfortunately, there is no further explanation.
