Hey! I didn't even notice that mistake. Soon you will be able to specify such a
window like ...

newUIObj("Window, Zoom, at={0,30}, size={1600,130}, flags={WS_CHILD,
 WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW}" )

and win32lib will handle the Flags/ExFlags issue, plus use the most recent
window as the parent window by default.
