All I can tell you is what's on msdn.microsoft.com:

First of all, "this function has been superseded by the SetWindowLongPtr
function. To write code that is compatible with both 32-bit and 64-bit
versions of Windows, use SetWindowLongPtr."

Second, "Certain window data is cached, so changes you make using
SetWindowLongPtr will not take effect until you call the SetWindowPos
function."

If you knew this already, I apologize...
