Hooking into an application and watching calls - GetWindowInfo returns some interesting results.
CODE
BOOL GetWindowInfo(HWND hwnd, PWINDOWINFO pwi);

... fills a WINDOWINFO structure with the properties of the supplied HWND.
CODE
typedef struct {
    DWORD cbSize;
    RECT rcWindow;
    RECT rcClient;
    DWORD dwStyle;
    DWORD dwExStyle;
    DWORD dwWindowStatus;
    UINT cxWindowBorders;
    UINT cyWindowBorders;
    ATOM atomWindowType;
    WORD wCreatorVersion;
} WINDOWINFO, *PWINDOWINFO, *LPWINDOWINFO;


->dwExStyle should be a combination of the WS_EX_ styles defined in winuser.h.

The app i'm watching returns 0x20000808 for dwExStyle. Now that can't match to any combination of values in winuser.h.

What am I missing?

Thanks
