Global variables for multiple child windows

Hi,

I have multiple child windows which have to setup a few global variables when
they -

1] open
2] get focus
3] are re-sized - maximized (after being minimized first)
4] moved around - moveZOrder(window, HWND_TOP) or dragged around

I am using a procedure in each window as follows:

global integer MaintWin, MaintStatBar
global sequence ProcModes, UpdtProc, SelCtl

procedure setSocMaintPars(integer self, integer event, sequence params)
	MaintWin     = self
	MaintStatBar = StatusBar380
	ProcModes    = SocProcModes
	UpdtProc     = SocUpdtProc
	SelCtl       = SocSelCtl
	
	setMaintModes()
end procedure
setHandler(SocMaint, {w32HGotFocus, w32HResize, w32HPaint},
routine_id("setSocMaintPars"))

Each window has a similar procedure, where global variables acquire window
specific values.
This procedure works fine except when I have multiple windows open
simultaneously. When the top most window is dragged around, the values of the
window which is overlapped by the dragged one always gets stored in global
variables.

Is there a way to always load the global variables with the values for top most
child window? How to get the id of top most child window?

Rad.
