WindowBlinds : DirectSkin
QueryAOTState
 

The QueryAOTState method is used to determine if the window has always on top set or not. The user can sometimes control this via the skin if it has an always on top button. It will return TRUE if it has and FALSE if it does not have always on top set.

BOOL QueryAOTState(
long hWnd,
short state);

Parameters

hWnd
Handle to the window whose always-on-top state is to be queried.
state
If state is 0 then it will remove always on top, and if its 1 then it will set it.

Return Values

 

This method will return TRUE if the window is set to always be the topmost window, FALSE if not.

Remarks

The QueryAOTState method is used to query the always-on-top status of a window.  When a window is always-on-top, DirectSkin will attempt to keep it at the top of the window z-order.  The SetAOTState method can be used to set the internal z-order status of a window.  This status is used only internally by DirectSkin and has no effect on the z-order of the window.
