    WindowFromPoint problem?

    Under the Index tab of the VB6 help there is an 'Edit' control where you type in your keywords to find.

    Anyway, using Spy++ window finder tool I can find this 'Edit' window no probs. However, I wrote my own simple version using WindowFromPoint (standard job, just getting the point in the MouseUp event) but it doesn't find this Edit window - just the SysTabControl32 (which isn't even the parent of the edit box).

    Having assumed the mistake was mine, I download JA's version but received the same results...

    Is this a fault with WindowFromPoint? Is there a more reliable way of getting a the correct window? Is it just me...?

    Getting the window from the point returns the SysTabControl32 (a sibling of the Edit control) because the SysTabControl32 is on top of the Edit control in the Z-order.
