GetWindowWord

The GetWindowWord function retrieves a 16-bit (word) value at the specified offset into the extra window memory for the specified window.

VB4-32,5,6
Declare Function GetWindowWord Lib "user32" Alias "GetWindowWord" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal nIndex As Long) As Integer

Operating Systems Supported
Requires Windows NT 3.1 or later; Requires Windows 95 or later

Library
User32

Parameter Information
- hWnd
Identifies the window and, indirectly, the class to which the window belongs.

- nIndex
Specifies the zero-based byte offset of the value to be retrieved. Valid values are in the range zero through the number of bytes of extra window memory, minus two; for example, if you specified 10 or more bytes of extra window memory, a value of 8 would be an index to the fifth 16-bit integer.

Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is the requested 16-bit value.

If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
