I'm sorry. I'm still fairly new to Win32 programming. I just didn't notice
in your post that your question was "I have two programs that both create a
window based on exactly the same style flags. However, the win32lib
program's window has just a line for the border and the other program has
the normal 3D look border. Why is this so?"

My guess is that your EXW.EXE still has the Win 3.1 setting. In other words
bytes at address offset #08 for 4 bytes should equal #40 #00 #00 #00.

Also I'm not sure what the statement "They all showed up in Spy++ except
WS_EX_WINDOWEDGE" means. Does this mean that Spy++ did not show the flag for
both programs, or that it shows it one program but not the other? I'm
guessing here that CreateWindowEx() did not exist until Windows 95.
